Thomas Reid was a philosopher who founded the Scottish school of 'common sense'. Much of Reid's work is a critique of his contemporary, David Hume, whose empiricism he rejects. In this work, written after Reid's appointment to a professorship at the university of Glasgow, and published in 1785, he turns his attention to ideas about perception, memory, conception, abstraction, judgement, reasoning and taste. He examines the work of his predecessors and contemporaries, arguing that 'when we find philosophers maintaining that there (...) is no heat in the fire, nor colour in the rainbow … we may be apt to think the whole to be only a dream of fanciful men, who have entangled themselves in cobwebs spun out of their own brain'. Written by one of the Scottish Enlightenment's most important thinkers, this work brings to life the intellectual debates of the time. (shrink)

I have awaited Professor Kulstad’s new book since Philosophia first announced its forthcoming publication in 1989. The wait perhaps increased my expectations, but now, with book in hand, I am in no way disappointed. The book concerns Leibniz’s views on apperception, consciousness and reflection. These concepts play important roles in Leibniz’s metaphysics. Scholars on the continent at the turn of the century recognized this, but anglo-american Leibnizians generally did not, although recently the issues have attracted the attention of McRae, Jolley (...) and Rescher.

On trouvera en ces Etudes l'examen de Quelques notions fondamentales sur la langue allemande, le fondement du Droit, l'épistémologie, la naissance de la Dynamique, l'harmonie, l'erreur, la réflexion, la perception, le simple et le composé, l'espace. On y suivra l'héritage leibnizien au XVIIIe siècle en France, en particulier chez Voltaire et chez Diderot, mais surtout, plus tard, en Allemagne, par l'intermédiaire de Kant, chez Hegel, sur le problème de l'essence. On y verra enfin, sur deux exemples - parmi combien d'autres (...) -, se réaliser sous nos yeux, grâce à l'ordinateur, le rêve de note philosophe : De Arte Combinatoria Pourquoi Leibniz? Parce qu'en nous rattachant au passé, il ne cesse d'être moderne. (shrink)
