Book Synopsis Thomas Reid and the Defence of Duty by : James Foster
Download or read book Thomas Reid and the Defence of Duty written by James Foster and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is morality a subjective matter, dependent on our desires and interests, or are there objective moral truths? And if the latter, can we explain the objectivity of morality without appeal to metaphysics, a robust teleology, or divine command? This book argues that we find just such an account of moral objectivity in Thomas Reid's defence of duty. To make this case, this book provides an explanation of Reid's way of philosophy and his reasons for rejecting moral subjectivism; presents Reid's account of the concept, perception, and motivational force of duty; and responds to contemporary challenges of moral subjectivism and moral pessimism from the perspective of his moral philosophy. Further, this book argues that if Reid is correct, then there is an urgent need to reform current pedagogical practice and return to the teaching of practical ethics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brings Thomas Reid into conversation with contemporary moral philosophyIs morality a subjective matter, dependent on our desires and interests, or are there objective moral truths? And if the latter, can we explain the objectivity of morality without appeal to metaphysics, a robust teleology or divine command? James J. S Foster argues that we find such an account of moral objectivity in Thomas Reid's defence of duty. This book provides an explanation of Reid's way of philosophy and his reasons for rejecting moral subjectivism, presents Reid's account of the concept, perception and motivational force of duty, and responds to contemporary challenges of moral subjectivism and pessimism from the perspective of Reid's moral philosophy. By illustrating how Thomas Reid provides this compelling interpretation of moral objectivism - which is both metaphysically modest and chimes with lived experience - Foster concludes that if Reid is correct, then there is an urgent need to reform current pedagogical practice and return to the teaching of practical ethics. Key Features? Appeals to readers interested in Reid and Scottish philosophy; and to those broadly interested in moral philosophy? Draws from Reid's entire corpus, not just his major published works, including 'Some Thoughts on the Utopian System', his correspondence and 'Lectures on Practical Ethics'? Explains Reid's Baconian approach to moral philosophy ? Discusses the implications of Reid's understanding of practical ethics and the limitations of speculative philosophy for moral educationJames J. S.

Book Synopsis Thomas Reid's Ethics by : William C. Davis
Download or read book Thomas Reid's Ethics written by William C. Davis and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2006-10-24 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Reid (1710-96) was one of the most daring and original thinkers of the eighteenth century. His work became the cornerstone of the Scottish School of Common Sense Philosophy, and was highly influential in nineteenth-century America; it also anticipated the thinking of such twentieth-century figures as Moore and Wittgenstein. Now, after a long period of neglect, his philosophy is again the subject of increasing attention across the world. For Reid, knowing about ethics is a matter of having 'good evidence' supplied by a sense-like moral faculty. William Davis's book shows how such a view can be both consistent and plausible in the twenty-first century. Thomas Reid's Ethics begins by characterizing the state of moral epistemology at the time when Reid was writing. It goes on to recount Reid's central claims about the moral sense, and describes the various problems that confront those who would explain and defend his views. Davis lays the foundation for resolving these difficulties by detailing an epistemological conception of evidence which parallels the legal conception of evidence used by the Scottish courts of Reid's day. He then shows how Reid's claims about evidence and self-evidence are best understood in light of this legal model. The book concludes by responding to recent worries about 'moral sense' theories, and offers a final assessment of the success of Reid's ethical project. The book will be of substantial interest not only to Reid scholars and historians of philosophy, but also to specialists and students in contemporary ethics.
Book Synopsis Thomas Reid on Practical Ethics by : Thomas Reid
Download or read book Thomas Reid on Practical Ethics written by Thomas Reid and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-06 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pervasiveness of Protestant natural law in the early modern period and its significance in the Scottish Enlightenment have long been recognised. This book reveals that Thomas Reid (1710-1796) - the great contemporary of David Hume and Adam Smith - also worked in this tradition. When Reid succeeded Adam Smith as professor of moral philosophy in Glasgow in 1764, he taught a course covering pneumatology, practical ethics, and politics. This section on practical ethics took its starting point from the system of natural law and rights published by Francis Hutcheson. Knud Haakonssen has reconstructed it here for the first time from Reid's manuscript lectures and papers, and it provides a considerable addition to our understanding not only of Reid but of the thought of the Scottish Enlightenment and of the education system of the time. The present work is a revised version of a work first published by Princeton University Press in 1990 which has long been out of print.

Book Synopsis Thomas Reid on Religion by : James J.S. Foster
Download or read book Thomas Reid on Religion written by James J.S. Foster and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Reid was one of the greatest thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment. In his own time he was seen as the most able opponent of the scepticism of David Hume and the architect of 'Common Sense' philosophy. His ideas were immensely influential both in his native Scotland and abroad, and the last forty years have seen a marked revival of interest in his work. Reid published very little about religion and his notes from the lectures on natural theology that he regularly gave have not survived. This volume - a companion to Thomas Reid: Selected Philosophical Writings (Imprint Academic, 2012) - makes available material from Reid's autograph manuscripts, housed in the University of Aberdeen Library, and student notes of Reid's lectures, edited from original manuscripts in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. It includes an introductory essay by Nicholas Wolterstorff, a leading philosopher of religion and interpreter of Reid.

This book was released on 1998-10-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies Reid's moral philosophy and his aesthetics partly by way of an exposition and appraisal of his anatomy of the self, i.e. his division of the mind in terms of its powers and the assignment of the many principles of action to their appropriate levels. A pervasive topic is the consideration of the appropriateness of deterministic computational cognitive science models of Reid's accounts of powers introduced by John Smith III and extensively employed by Keith Lehrer in his important study of Reid's philosophy.
