Manifest Activity

Focusing on Thomas Reid's philosophical contributions, this work critically analyzes his views on human power, agency, and the will. Despite being a significant 18th-century thinker, Reid's ideas have been under-explored. Gideon Yaffe reconstructs and discusses previously overlooked arguments, revealing the depth behind Reid's straightforward writing. This examination is beneficial for those engaged in contemporary discussions on action and free will, as well as for historians studying philosophical thought.
