The difficulty in conceiving of or describing an object without also conceiving of or describing its properties is a common justification for bundle theory, especially among current philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition. D. Hume used the term "bundle" in this sense, also referring to the personal identity, in his main work: "I may venture to affirm of the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement".[2] Critics question how bundle theory accounts for the properties' compresence (the togetherness relation between those properties) without an underlying substance. Traditional bundle theory explains the compresence of properties by defining an object as a collection of properties bound together.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2975.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2975.txt
