Ep. 353: Reid on Visual Knowledge (Part Two)

  • Summary

  • Concluding our treatment of "Of Seeing" in Inquiry into the Human Mind on the Principles of Common Sense.

    We continue to hammer at this idea of "resemblance" between mental contents and physical objects, consider more carefully Reid's level of support for the primary/secondary quality distinction, how he treats non-signifying feelings like pain and warmth, and his comparison of sense experience to testimony.
