Thomas Reid was one of the greatest philosophers of the eighteenth
century and a contemporary of Kant’s. This volume is part of
a new wave of international interest in Reid from a new generation
of scholars.
The volume opens with an introduction to Reid’s life and work, including biographical material previously little known. A classic essay by Reid himself – ‘Of Power’ – is then reproduced, in which he sets out his distinctive account of causality and agency. This is followed by ten original essays exploring different aspects of Reid’s philosophy, as well as his relation to other thinkers, such as Kant, Priestley, and Moore.
