About this book

Reid's last major work, The Active Powers shows how principles of Common Sense are involved in volition, action and the ability to judge morally. Reid gives an original twist to a libertarian and realist tradition that was prominently represented in eighteenth-century British thought by such thinkers as Samuel Clarke and Richard Price.
