Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Immediate Perception as Held by Reid and Hamilton Considered as a Refutation of the Skepticism of Hume The question as to the nature of that knowledge which we have, or suppose that we have, of an external, material world is an old one in philosophy, and the history of its discussion is one of the most interesting chapters in the records of human thought. It is not this chapter, however, as a whole, but only a single section of it which is to engage our attention in the following pages. We are to deal only with what is known as the Common Sense Philosophy, and that only so far as it undertook to furnish a refutation of the skepticism of Berkeley and Hume (especially the latter) and to vindicate as trustworthy the knowledge which men universally suppose that they possess of a world of Matter. As preliminary to this discussion, it is proper that it be stated, in a few plain words, what is meant by the term. Common Sense, as employed by Reid and Hamilton. In ordinary language, we include under it all those conclusions which men of sound and well-balanced minds are accustomed to reach and which guide them in the practical affairs of life. Or the term may be applied to that group of endowments which enable their possessors to reach such practical conclusions. The philosophical use of the term, on the other hand, excludes all inference and conclusions whatever. When applied to results of mental activity, in this sense, it always refers to what is intuitive and original.
