The aim of his published works is to construct what he calls “a just system of the mind; that is, an enumeration of the original powers and laws of our constitution, and an explication from them of the various phenomena of human nature” (IHM I ii, 15). In Reid’s day, the “phenomena of human nature” to be explicated in the philosophy of mind were...
