Nicholas Wolterstorff has produced the first systematic account of Reid's epistemology. Relating Reid's philosophy to present-day epistemological discussions the author demonstrates how they are at once remarkably timely, relevant, and provocative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This is by far the best book I have read on the philosophy of Reid. It contains a wonderfully clear exposition, and a certain amount of critical comment, all of it well aimed and as lucid as the expository parts of the work … I have no doubt that Wolterstorff's book will help to swell the number of Reid enthusiasts.' Alexander Broadie, University of Glasgow\u003cbr\u003e'Wolterstorff strikes the right balance between precision and fidelity to Reid's text, and a briskly-paced treatment that enables the reader to keep the main lines of Reid's thought in mind without having to be constantly reminded of them. This, along with the book's manageable size and eminent readability, should assure the book a wide audience, including a substantial 'crossover' group between history, epistemology, and history of philosophy.'
