Reid's Critique of Hume Course by Daniel N. Robinson on Free Audio Download

Under вЂњDavid HumeвЂќ, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy begins with, вЂњThe most important philosopher ever to write in EnglishвЂќ. His most formidable contemporary critic was the fellow Scot, Thomas Reid, the major architect of so-called Scottish Common Sense Philosophy. The most significant features of HumeвЂ™s work, as understood by Reid, are the representive theory of perception, the nature of causation and causal concepts, the nature of personal identity and the foundations of morality. Each of these topics is presented in a pair of lectures, the first summarizing HumeвЂ™s position and the second ReidвЂ™s critique of that position.
