根据常识原理对人类心灵的探究
感官给予我们的是世界本身，而不只是观念——反对贝克莱和休谟的怀疑论。
简介
Reid published the Inquiry in 1764, the year he moved to Glasgow; before publication he had parts of the manuscript passed to Hume, who replied courteously. After an introduction, the chapters work through the senses one by one – smelling, tasting, hearing, touch and seeing – and ask in each case what we actually perceive. Reid argues that sensations are natural signs which, by the constitution of our nature, suggest the existence of external things. The chapter on seeing contains a “geometry of visibles” that describes visual space without Euclid’s parallel postulate. The book became a founding text of the Scottish school of common sense.
