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.
