Abstract

Make an approach in which key components are discussed in the philosophy of common sense of Thomas Reid was established as the primary purpose of this article. We will see that one of the reasons that led him to make that kind of knowledge a component of his philosophy was that Reid believe that our ideas and beliefs rest on first principles of innate mind. Thus, our basic conceptions arise in response to signs of these principles as the result of the natural faculties existing in man. Thus, these signs sometimes are sensations, mental states giving rise to some conceptions, and sometimes they are not mental states but physical processes in the sense organs.
