%X the relation between ideas and images, in their different philosophical formulations since the enlightenment, is one of the key elements of their definitions both in episte-mology as well as in aesthetics. this paper concentrates on hume s theory of abstract ideas, based on his conception of ideas as images. i investigate first the roots of his theory in the works of berkeley, to analyse further hume s contention that his theory is completely nominalist. here the idea of similarity, essential for the definition of a visual image, will show itself as the core of his theory.
