Beskrivning

Widely acknowledged as the principal architect of Scottish common sense philosophy, Thomas Reid is increasingly recognized today as one of the finest philosophers of the eighteenth century. Combining a sophisticated response to the skeptical and idealist views of his day, Reid's thought stands as an important alternative to Humean skepticism, Kantian idealism and Cartesian rationalism. This volume is the first comprehensive overview of Reid's output and covers not only his philosophy in detail, but also his scientific work and his extensive historical influence.

'The Cambridge Companion to Thomas Reid is easily the best guide yet to Reid's thought as a whole. Every aspect of Reid's philosophy is covered, from his epistemology and account of perception, through his studies of testimony and memory, to this theory of action and his moral philosophy, and further on still to his philosophy of religion and philosophy of art.' The Times Literary Supplement
