Description

New Essays on Thomas Reid explores the philosophical work of Thomas Reid, a key figure in the Scottish School of Common Sense. Until recently, his ideas have been overlooked and misunderstood.

Reid's philosophy was influenced by David Hume's Treatise, which he saw as a major challenge to be addressed. This book brings together leading scholars to examine various aspects of Reid's thought on perception, epistemology, ethics, language, mind, and metaphysics.

The result is a rich and nuanced understanding of Reid's contributions to contemporary philosophical debates, shedding new light on his work and its ongoing relevance.
