Quotes: Reid, Thomas


Sanctions: 11Sanctions: 11Sanctions: 11
But the triumph of ideas was completed by the Treatise of Human Nature [by David Hume], which discards spirits also, and leaves ideas and impressions as the sole existences in the universe. ... It seemed very natural to think, that the Treatise of Human Nature required an author, and a very ingenious one too; but now we learn, that it is only a set of ideas which came together, and arranged themselves by certain associations and attractions.
Thomas Reid
An Inquiry Into the Human Mind
