    David Hume was an 18th century Scottish philosopher who developed the bundle theory of personal identity, which claims that a person is merely a collection of experiences, sensations, and thoughts rather than an indivisible self. According to this view, when we introspect, we find only a bundle of mental states like impressions and ideas rather than finding an underlying self, with impressions being vivid sensations and ideas being fainter copies of impressions.
