Claude Buffier (1661-1737) was a French Jesuit whose philosophy earned Voltaire's praise. Thomas Reid (1710-96) was the one Scottish philosopher whose response to David Hume is still taken seriously. In this comparative study Professor Marcil-Lacoste not only refutes common assumptions, but also shows that, despite their similar concerns and the unfounded charge that Reid plagiarized from Buffier, a comparison of Reid and Buffier illuminates a range of significant epistemological issues. Further, she demonstrates that common-sense philosophies can be varied, subtle, and original. This book also includes an edited and annotated version of Reid's hitherto unpublished curâ primâ on common sense prepared by David Fate Norton.

Thomas Reid est une des figures marquantes de l'Écosse des Lumières, injustement tombé dans un relatif oubli. Pourtant la pensée originale de cet héritier d'une longue tradition intellectuelle nationale a exercé une influence déterminante sur les philosophes français du début du XIXe siècle. L'ouvrage propose de retrouver cette pensée de transition qui s'oppose au sensualisme, lequel domine alors la philosophie, aussi bien en Grande-Bretagne qu'en France. Au moyen d'un regard critique qui n'ignore pas les difficultés rencontrées par une pensée qui ne parvient pas à relever tous les défis qu'elle se pose, ce livre entreprend de montrer comment elle constitue un lien essentiel entre les lumières du XVIIIe siècle et les interrogations du siècle suivant.
