PROSPERI, Germán Osvaldo. Six Perceptions in Search of a Self: Theatre and Subjectivity in David Hume and Luigi Pirandello. Prax. filos. [online]. 2017, n.44, pp.59-80. ISSN 0120-4688.

The aim of this article is twofold. Firstly, to prove that it is possible -and enlightening- to explain the chapter ‟Of personal identity” from Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume on the basis of Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore by Luigi Pirandello and, at the same time, to explain the latter on the basis of Hume´s text. Secondly, to prove that starting from the comparison between mind and theater proposed by Hume in the aforementioned chapter it is also possible to identify, depending on how relationship between thought and experience with the subject is conceived, two major currents in modern philosophy: one that might be called Author's theatre and a second one, theatre without Author.
