16. Persons / D. Continuity of the Self / 7. Self and Thinking

6721	Ideas are perceived by the mind, soul or self [Berkeley]
	Full Idea: The thing which knows or perceives ideas is what I call mind, spirit, soul or myself.
	From: George Berkeley (The Principles of Human Knowledge [1710], §2)
	A reaction: The interest here is in making no distinction between 'mind' and 'self', which seems to ally Berkeley with Locke's view of personal identity, as continuity of consciousness. The addition of 'soul' tries to connect Locke to Christian thought.
