The Cambridge Companion to Thomas Reid

by Terence Cuneo (Editor), René van Woudenberg (Editor)

Widely acknowledged as the principal architect of Scottish common sense philosophy, Thomas Reid is increasingly recognized today as one of the finest philosophers of the eighteenth century. Combining a sophisticated response to the skeptical and idealist views of his day, Reid's thought represents an important alternative to Humean skepticism, Kantian idealism and Cartesian rationalism. This work covers not only his philosophy but his scientific research and extensive historical influence.

This is a good companion set of secondary sources on Reid. I definitely think I got more out of it, though, by reading Reid's central texts first.
