The article suggests interpreting Hume’s theory of sympathy in Book 2 of the Treatise of Human Nature in a broader context of relations, feelings, and sentiments. It is this context which marks off different types of impressions and their different phenomenology, and offers rich insights into Hume’s theory. As regards Hume’s theory of sympathy, it can be analyzed for various cases of sympathy both in the context of the (1) conception involved in a given case of sympathy, and in the context of its (2) doxastic and (3) affect-constituting vivacity.
