Thomas Reid and Scepticism : His Reliabilist Response

This book bears witness to the current reawakening of interest in Reids philosophy. It first examines Reids negative attack on the Way of Ideas, and finds him to be a devastating critic of his predecessors. Turning to the positive part of Reids programme, the author then develops a fresh interpretation of Reid as an anticipator of present-day reliabilism.
Throughout the book, Reid is presented as a powerful thinker with much to say to philosophers in the twenty-first century. The book will be of interest not only to Reid scholars and historians of philosophy, but also to specialists and students in contemporary epistemology.
