Time for Hume’s Unchanging Objects

Abstract: Hume identifies the idea of time with the idea of succession and denies that we have or even can have an idea of time without change.  He argues that our idea of time is not applicable to unchanging objects and that unchanging objects cannot be said to endure.  At the center of Hume’s treatment of time is a fiction that is supposed to explain how we falsely believe that we can form an idea of time without change and how we consider unchanging objects to endure. The literature has struggled to… Show more

“…They extend over temporally continuous intervals. Experience, contrary to what some authors have argued (Chuard, 2011), does not merely present us with how the world is at a moment, but rather, our perceptual processes represent the world as it is over a temporally extended interval (Grush, 2005; Lee, 2014; Phillips, 2010). Emotional experiences can be understood as having an experiential awareness of the unfolding of unified events that are the effect of a singular cause in the environment.…”

“…Experience content emerges through the person's subjective processing and sensemaking of inputs. Inputs have a beginning and an end; experiences also have a limited temporal duration (Kim 1992;Lee 2014). Experiences originate and exist in the moment of an input, so they are distinct from attitudes (i.e., general, stable beliefs and evaluations) and behaviors (i.e., how a person acts), both of which follow after an input (Chalmers 2010;Dretske 1993).…”
