Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper deals with a less well-known connection between Thomas Reid’s conception of common sense and pragmatism. The paper starts with an exposition of the different principles of common sense one can find in Reid’s writings and a discussion of their epistemic status. The main focus of the paper is on what one may call ‘Reid’s dilemma of common sense’. I argue that Reid’s writings not only present us with a dilemma of common sense but that they also offer a way out of the dilemma, one that is pragmatist in a certain sense. I also discuss the question whether the proposed way out can work.

托马斯·里德、常识与实用主义

摘要本文论述了托马斯·里德的常识观与实用主义之间一个鲜为人知的联系。本文首先阐述了里德著作中的不同常识原则，并讨论了它们的认识地位。这篇论文的主要焦点是所谓的“里德的常识困境”。我认为，里德的著作不仅给我们带来了一个常识性的困境，而且也为我们提供了一条摆脱困境的道路，一条在某种意义上是实用主义的道路。我还讨论了拟议的出路是否可行的问题。
