  1. As we read that Hume's states that there is no self, but only impressions and ideas. i don't agree with Hume. Even though we think on based on we observe and experience, but it is not always true. There is conscious self and self awareness. Our self is made up by our beliefs, values and morals. its not only based on our observation.

  2. I agree with Urmala.
    Everyone's perceptions differ from one another, and to say that there is no 'self', to me makes little sense.
    I would give this comment a B
