        abstract = {The 18th century philosopher David Hume, in his work “A Treatise of Human Nature”, presented a deeply controversial theory on “identity” which created a deep stir in Western empiricism. He denied the identity of substances by giving various definitions about their existence. According to Hume, substance or individual identity is what we perceive through collective perceptions, that is, the existence of substance is nothing more than a bundle of perceptions. Notwithstanding why Hume attributed perception to the existence of substance is the subject of this study. Here we will see how Hume analyzed the identity of substance based on the mind of bundle perceptions.},
