Synopsis
This work covers far more phliosophlcal ground than the earlier, more popular Inquiry. The Intellectual Powers and its companion volume, Essays on the Active Powers of Man, constitute the fullest, most original presentation of the philosophy of Common Sense. In the process, Reid provides acutely critical discussions of an impressive array of thinkers, especially David Hume. In Reid's eyes, Hume had driven a deep tendency in modern philosophy to its ultimate conclusions by creating a phantom-world of so-called ideas that sprang from objects of observation; the self was a conglomeration of perceived ideas; and the will as the source of action was nothing but the balance of passionate impulses.

Book Description
Thomas Reid (1710–1796) was one of the Scottish Enlightenment's leading philosophers and he founded the 'common sense' school of thought. In this work, published in 1785, he explores ideas about the human mind through the themes of perception, memory, conception, abstraction, judgement, reasoning and taste.
