    A Fragmented Unity: A Narrative Answer to the Problem of the Unity of the Self in Hume

  • Original language description

    Lorenzo Greco defends a Humean narrative interpretation of the self. By appealing to pride and humility Hume explains how we are able to trace a connection between the events of our past and our present, and to project ourselves into the future. Greco compares this account to two opposing models: Alasdair MacIntyre’s strong conception of a narrative self dependent on tradition or community, on the one hand, and Galen Strawson’s complete dismissal of narrative identity, on the other. For Greco, MacIntyre’s narrative self is too dependent on the community to which it belongs, and on the role played within the tradition of which it is a part. A Humean narrative self, in contrast, is grounded in the pride or humility one feels in the present, but, contrary to the episodic life of Strawson, our self-directed passions infuse a temporal dimension to this ‘fragmented’ narrative self.
