The Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid (1710 1796) first published
Essays on Active Powers of Man in 1788 while he was Professor of
Philosophy at King's College, Aberdeen. The work contains a set of
essays on active power, the will, principles of action, the liberty
of moral agents, and morals. Reid was a key figure in the Scottish
Enlightenment and one of the founders of the 'common sense' school
of philosophy. In Active Powers Reid gives his fullest exploration
of sensus communis as the basis of all philosophical inquiry. He
uses common sense realism to argue for the existence of a stable
external world, the existence of other minds, and to offer a
powerful challenge to versions of the Theory of Ideas advocated by
Hume (1711 1776) and Locke (1632 1704). This is a key work of the
Scottish Enlightenment that made important contributions to
fundamental debates about the basis of philosophical inquiry.
