In addition, "sympathy theory" is also Hume's important viewpoint. "Anyone who can excite a person's feelings can make others feel through association. This is sympathy. Psychological activities that can cause sympathy are mainly similar to associations. " This is due to the "similarity principle" of ideas and "habitual association formed by the constant combination of impressions and ideas." "It is not so much the time-space approach of impressions and ideas and the constant appearance of similar relationships that cause the habitual association of the soul, but rather the habitual association of the soul that makes Hume discover the constant combination of impressions and ideas." "The reason why sympathy can play an important role in generating our emotions is because in sympathy, an idea is transformed into a vivid impression by the power of imagination." "When a person has an aesthetic feeling and shows a happy mood for the things he owns (including his body), then this kind of mood will quickly affect the people around him who are watching or caring for him, and make them arouse a happy mood in their thoughts, which also determines that the things he owns are beautiful. Hume believes that it is inevitable for people to infect and influence each other emotionally and emotionally, because they have the same soul in general structure. " "The occurrence of sympathy activities needs to go through three essential links: First, the externalization of others' emotions; The second is the emotional concept born in our hearts by external signs; The third is the transformation of our ideas into emotional impressions. Therefore, the process of sympathy is the externalization of other people's emotions, which evokes the process of experiencing the same emotions in our hearts, that is, the transformation process from concept to impression.
