Thomas Reid has been known in the past principally as a critic of Hume and a champion of common-sense philosophy. In this volume, Keith Lehrer outlines and analyzes Reid's thought from epistemology, philosophy of mind and aesthetics to theory of action and moral philosophy, to show that he was a distinctive and subtle philosopher in his own right. Through a detailed critique of Locke and Berkeley as well as Hume, Reid developed his own theory of the operations of the human mind, concluding that our faculties are fallible, but that they have the power to lead us to truth about matter, mind and morals.
