The critical text is based on the 4th lifetime edition (1785). A selection of related documents showing the development of Reid's thought, textual notes, bibliographical details of previous editions and a full introduction by the editor makes this an important contribution to the study of this increasingly respected philosopher.Key FeaturesComplete, critically edited text of the Inquiry accompanied by a judicious selection of manuscript evidence relating to its compositionComprehensive Introduction providing an historical and philosophical account of the formation of the Inquiry Detailed textual notes which include bibliographical details and allusions, translations, references to secondary literature and selected passages from Reid's manuscripts
