Inquiry Into the Human Mind (Classic Reprint): On the Principles of Common Sense: On the Principles of Common Sense (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
How we know what we feel shapes how we think about everything.
This edition of Thomas Reid’s Inquiry Into the Human Mind explores how our senses work, what they reveal about heat, cold, hardness, and softness, and how our judgments arise from more than simple sensations.
Reid argues that sensations are not the same as the real qualities of objects. He shows how heat and cold, though felt, point to unknown causes in bodies, while hardness and softness point to real properties that exist even when not perceived. The text also examines how common sense guides everyday belief, and why philosophical theories must align with how we actually experience the world.
- How heat, cold, and other sensations relate to the qualities they signify in objects.
- Why perceived hardness is a distinct sensation from the external property itself.
- How ordinary judgment and belief arise from our sensory experience, not just from comparing ideas.
- Critiques of existing philosophical theory and a defense of common sense in understanding the mind.
Ideal for readers curious about how early modern philosophy explains perception, belief, and the operations of the mind.

Reseña del editor
Few, who are capable of attending to the operations of their own minds, will weigh deliber ately what is here advanced, before they pass sentence upon it. To such I appeal, as the only competent judges. If they disapprove, I am probably in the wrong, and shall be ready to change my opinion upon convic tion. If they approve, the Many will at least yield to their authority, as they always do. HOWEVER contrary my notions are to those of the writers I have mentioned, their speculations have been of great use to me, and seem even to point out the road which I have taken: and your Lordship knows, that the merit of useful discoveries is sometimes not more justly due to those that have hit upon them, than to others that have ripened them, and brought them to the birth. I ACKNOWLEDGE, my Lord, that I never thought of calling in question the principles commonly received with regard to the human understanding, until the Treatise of Human Nature was published in the year 1739.
