    modern philosopher‚ David Hume‚ argued that the proof of self existence was not possible. Hume stated‚ “If any impression gives rise to the idea of self‚ that impression must continue invariably the same‚ through the whole course of our lives; since self is supposed to exist after that manner” (Kolack and Thompson 642). Although Hume made some valid arguments‚ his views on self existence are both wrong and arrogant. The existence of self can be‚ and has been‚ proven. David Hume proposed the Bundle

    but his writings are more about discrediting the common beliefs and replacing them with skepticism. Hume accounts for human’s believing in cause and effect because of the habit that comes from common experiences‚ and not too dissimilar is his explanation for the existence of necessary connections‚ which he believes is due to our ability to examine enough similar instances to call something a connection.
