Hume Peter Millican, Tampere, Sept 2006 Hume’s Treatise, Book 1 3(a) Hume’s theory of general (or abstract) ideas Empiricism and Nominalism An empiricist account of the origin of ideas will naturally reject any non-sensory, purely intellectual grasp of abstract essences. Sensory experience is of particular things, hence empiricists tend towards nominalism, that “all things that exist are only particulars” (Locke, Essay III iii 6, cf. Treatise 1.1.7.6).
