Manifest Activity: Thomas Reid's Theory of Action Paperback - 2007 - 1st Edition

by Gideon Yaffe


First line

Reid states the first of his arguments for the claim that where there is active power there is also will and understanding as follows: [I]f we had not will, and that degree of understanding which will necessarily implies, we could exert no active power, and consequently could have none: for power that cannot be exerted is no power.
