Empiricism And Intuitionism In Reid's Common Sense Philosophy - Paperback

by Olin McKendree Jones (Author)

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 is known for his theory of common sense, which states that humans possess innate knowledge that allows them to make rational judgments about the world. Jones examines Reid's views on empiricism, which emphasizes the importance of sensory experience in acquiring knowledge, and intuitionism, which emphasizes the role of innate ideas in knowledge acquisition. The book also discusses Reid's contributions to epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics. Jones provides a comprehensive analysis of Reid's philosophy, including his criticisms of other philosophers such as John Locke and David Hume. This book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of philosophy who are interested in the Scottish Enlightenment and the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
