This study of active power, the will, principles of action, the liberty of moral agents, and morals first appeared in 1788. A key work of the Scottish Enlightenment and a foundational text of 'common sense' philosophy, it contains Reid's fullest exploration of sensus communis as the basis of philosophical inquiry.
