Reid's last major work, The Active Powers shows how principles of Common Sense are involved in volition, action and the ability to judge morally. Reid gives an original twist to a libertarian and realist tradition that was prominently represented in eighteenth-century British thought by such thinkers as Samuel Clarke and Richard Price.
