The Philosophy of Reid as Contained in the "Inquiry Into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense

"The Philosophy of Reid as Contained in the 'Inquiry Into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense'" is a comprehensive exposition of the philosophical ideas of the Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid, primarily centered around his seminal work, "An Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense," first published in 1764. In this influential treatise, Reid offers a robust defence of common sense as the foundation of human knowledge and rationality. He critiques the prevailing philosophical skepticism of his time, particularly the ideas of David Hume, and argues for a more intuitive and realistic approach to understanding the mind and the world. Reid's philosophy emphasizes the importance of perception, consciousness, and moral judgment in shaping human experience and behaviour. Through clear and systematic analysis, "The Philosophy of Reid" elucidates Reid's key concepts and their implications for epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of his philosophical worldview.
