Hume's account of how the imagination works.

So, how I understand David Hume's position of how imagination works, when people have a look on the world for the first time, they think that heir imagination is very unbounded but Hume pointed out that if people look more closely at hte scope of our imagination therefore people are going to find that our imagination is limited. Also Hume shows that our imagination depends on our senses and experience. At the beginning of imagination people think that imagination is unbounded but it depends on how much experience people had. If we "analyze our thoughts or ideas" people can see that our simple ideas are copied from our feelings and senses. Hume took an example, the "idea of God" this idea has infinitely thoughts and ideas, however our imagination about the "idea of God" can not be unbounded, as our imagination is limited, because we didn't have much experience of the "idea of God".

Consequently, people's imagination works on experience that they have in their life. Hume gave an account for our imagination, because people can not have an infinity of experience, so that's why it is impossible to have unlimited imagination. "Our imagination of something depends on our experience".
