In the Treatise of Human Nature Hume presents a critical look at the traditional conception of the Self and offers an idea of it as a collection or bundle of perceptions. Nevertheless, in the Appendix of Treatise, Hume says, in an obscure way, that his own conception of the idea of the Self is problematic. In this paper I shall present the account of the Self as offered by Hume and what Hume says in the Appendix. Then I will examine two possible interpretations of the problem and show the difficulties of each. I finalize this paper by offering my own interpretation based on the other interpretations.
