Description
Claude Buffier (1661-1737) was a French Jesuit whose philosophy earned Voltaire's praise.
Thomas Reid (1710-96) was the one Scottish philosopher whose response to David Hume is still taken seriously.
In this comparative study Professor Marcil-Lacoste not only refutes common assumptions, but also shows that, despite their similar concerns and the unfounded charge that Reid plagiarized from Buffier, a comparison of Reid and Buffier illuminates a range of significant epistemological issues.
Further, she demonstrates that common-sense philosophies can be varied, subtle, and original. This book also includes an edited and annotated version of Reid's hitherto unpublished cura prima on common sense prepared by David Fate Norton.
