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.

Reid is one of the most important philosophers of the 18th century, but hitherto under-appreciated; through the reconstruction of his arguments, many of which have never before been discussed, Gideon Yaffe demonstrates that Reid's simple prose and direct style belie the complexity of the views he advocates and the subtlety of the reasons he offers in their favor.
