Thomas Reid: Essays on the Intellectual Power of Man
Pennsylvania State University Press
2002
sidottu
Thomas Reid (1710–1796) is increasingly seen as a philosopher of lasting importance and as a central figure in the Scottish Enlightenment. Intellectual Powers is his greatest work. It covers far more philosophical ground than the earlier, more popular Inquiry. Intellectual Powers and its companion volume, Essays on the Active Powers of Man, constitute the fullest, most original presentation of the philosophy of Common Sense. In this work Reid provides acutely critical discussions of an impressive array of thinkers but especially of David Hume. In Reid's view, Hume had driven a deep tendency in modern philosophy to its ultimate conclusion by creating a phantom-world of "ideas" that spring from objects of observation. On this account, the self is a conglomeration of perceived ideas; the will, as the source of action, is nothing but the balance of passionate impulses. Reid's Common Sense philosophy responds to these problems by suggesting that skeptics such as Hume unavoidably affirm what they purport to deny—namely, the existence of a stable external world, of other minds, of the continuity of their own minds, and of their own and other people's ability to ascribe and accept responsibility for actions. We can understand all of these things by proper empirical observation and philosophical analysis of the activity of the mind. Reid's major positive contribution to philosophy is a detailed account of the various innate powers of the mind. This is the only properly established text. It is accompanied by Reid's manuscript lectures on the nature and immortality of the soul as well as helpful editorial annotations and an introduction, making it useful to a wide variety of readers.

Jimmy Reid: Walking with History is the long-anticipated posthumous autobiography of one of the most influential political voices of the twentieth century. Compiled from fourteen years of in-depth conversations with journalist and close collaborator Brian McGeachan, the book captures Reid’s life as trade union leader, orator, broadcaster and political activist. Best known internationally as the leading figure in the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders work-in of 1971–72, Reid helped secure thousands of jobs and demonstrated a powerful alternative to industrial conflict through workers’ control and discipline. Born in Govan during the Depression, Reid’s life intersected with the major political currents of his age: communism, labour politics, nationalism and the struggle for social justice. His election as Rector of the University of Glasgow in 1971 led to his famous 'rat-race' address, later described by The New York Times as “the greatest speech since the Gettysburg Address.” Its critique of alienation, inequality and moral compromise continues to resonate across generations. Reid went on to become a respected journalist and BAFTA-award-winning broadcaster, engaging global audiences through documentaries and debates while remaining rooted in the experiences of working-class Scotland. With a Foreword by Neil Kinnock and contributions from figures including Tony Benn and Billy Connolly, Walking with History is both an intimate personal narrative and a vital historical record of modern Britain.
