impressions are the direct, vivid, and forceful products of immediate experience; ideas are merely feeble copies of these original impressions.
assuming the above statement is true, which of the statements logically follows from it:
1) every impression leads to an idea.
2) ideas must follow an antecedent impression.
3) the colour of the 2011 xat paper right front of candidate is an impression whereas the memory of the colour of her television set is an idea.
4) if one was interested in the origin of the idea of the colour of a television set, then one need to understand the impressions from which this idea was derived.
options
A 1 & 3
B 2 & 3
C 2 & 4
D 2 , 3 & 4
E 1, 2 , 3 & 4
this is original excerpt:
Hume's analysis of human belief begins with a careful distinction among our mental contents:
impressions are the direct, vivid, and forceful products of immediate experience; ideas are merely feeble copies of these original impressions. (Enquiry II) Thus, for example, the background color of the screen at which I am now looking is an impression, while my memory of the color of my mother's hair is merely an idea. Since every idea must be derived from an antecedent impression, Hume supposed, it always makes sense to inquire into the origins of our ideas by asking from which impressions they are derived.
I guess the answer should be B as the fourth statement - if one was interested in the origin of the idea of the colour of a television set, then one need to understand the impressions from which this idea was derived - Hume assumes or supposes (Hume supposed, it always makes sense to inquire into the origins of our ideas by asking from which impressions they are derived)
and also the fourth statement is pretty ambiguous.
any thoughts on this ??
