Thomas Reid (1710-96) was a contemporary of both David Hume and
Immanuel Kant, and a central figure in the Scottish School of
Common Sense. Until recently, his work has been largely neglected,
and often misunderstood. Like Kant, Reid cited Hume's Treatise as
the main spur to his own philosophical work. In Reid's case, this
led him to challenge 'the theory of ideas', which he saw as the
cornerstone of Hume's (and many other philosophers') theories. For
those familiar with Reid's work, it is clear that its significance
extends well beyond his challenging the theory of ideas. The
variety of topics which this book covers attests to the richness
and variety of Reid's philosophical contributions, and the
persisting relevance of his work to contemporary philosophical
debates. The work included in this book, by leading figures in Reid
scholarship, deals with aspects of Reid's views on topics ranging
from perception, to epistemology, to ethics and meta-ethics,
through to language, mind, and metaphysics. This book was
originally published as a special issue of the Canadian Journal of
Philosophy.
