Empiricism And Intuitionism In Reid's Common Sense Philosophy

By Olin Mckendree Jones

Book Overview

Empiricism and Intuitionism in Reid's Common Sense Philosophy is a book written by Olin McKendree Jones that explores the philosophical ideas of Scottish philosopher Thomas Reid. Reid's Common Sense Philosophy is an influential school of thought that emphasizes the importance of common sense, intuition, and direct observation in understanding the world around us. Jones delves into Reid's ideas on the nature of perception, knowledge, and reality, and examines how they relate to the broader philosophical debates of the time. He also explores the tension between Reid's empiricist and intuitionist tendencies, and how they inform his views on topics such as causation, free will, and morality. The book is written for a scholarly audience and assumes a basic understanding of philosophy. It offers a comprehensive analysis of Reid's ideas and their significance within the history of philosophy, and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of Scottish Enlightenment thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
