October 7 in Scottish History

On this day in 1796 Thomas Reid, Scottish philosopher, died. An important Enlightenment figure, Reid founded the Scottish school of "commonsense philosophy", a reaction against the sceptical empiricism of David Hume. He is also well known for his criticisms of Locke's view of personal identity, as well as Hume's view of causation. However, Reid also wrote on a wide variety of other topics including ethics, aesthetics and the philosophy of mind.
