This volume presents a collection of Reid's published and unpublished work on 'the culture of the mind', including his important essay on Aristotle's logic, which was corrupted in older editions and is now restored to Reid's favoured edition.
This collection reconstructs Thomas Reid's philosophy of practical ethics from his lecture manuscripts and papers dating from his tenure as professor of moral philosophy in Glasgow from 1764.
Reid's ideas on education are a direct development of his theory of the mind, and the writings in this volume form an integral part of his philosophy that has, until now, been ignored.
The fullest, most original presentation of the philosophy of Common Sense, accompanied by manuscript lectures on the nature and immortality of the soul, a helpful introduction and editorial annotation.
Suitable for both students and scholars, this title covers topics such as Reid's views on the role of common sense, scepticism, the theory of ideas, perception, memory and identity, as well as his views on moral liberty, duties, and principles.
