How we know what we feel shapes how we think about everything.
This edition of Thomas Reid’s Inquiry Into the Human Mind explores how our senses work, what they reveal about heat, cold, hardness, and softness, and how our judgments arise from more than simple sensations.
Reid argues that sensations are not the same as the real qualities of objects. He shows how heat and cold, though felt, point to unknown causes in bodies, while hardness and softness point to real properties that exist even when not perceived. The text also examines how common sense guides everyday belief, and why philosophical theories must align with how we actually experience the world.
Ideal for readers curious about how early modern philosophy explains perception, belief, and the operations of the mind.
