 Thomas Reid
Reid was not narrowly concerned with the theory of knowledge; he also engaged his consider- able intellectual energy in many other aspects of science and philosophy, exhibiting a typical Enlightenment ambition of achieving collective progress through individual improvement.
Thomas Reid was born on 26 April 1710, the son of the Presbyterian minister of Strachan in Kincardineshire, Scotland.
Reid’s solution was that this regress is not in fact what happens; to have power over one’s will is not itself an act of will, but rather the ability to judge rationally what it is that one wills.

 Thomas Reid
Reid does not rest content to defend the claim that human beings are the efficient causes of their own behavior by responding to the best objections to it; he also provides three positive arguments for the claim which he labels, prosaically, the ‘first ’, ‘second ’ and ‘third argument for moral liberty ’.
Reid accepts that the qualities which we ordinarily conceive objects to have — whether shapes, sizes and motions, on the one hand, or colors, sounds, tastes and smells, on the other — are genuinely possessed by those objects (barring illusions and disorders of various sorts, which are, incidentally, difficult for Reid to explain).
When Reid was writing, most, perhaps all, philosophers who denied that human beings were the efficient causes of their own behavior, but who nonetheless took us to be morally accountable, were drawn to conceptions of the purpose of punishment that do not require power on the part of the recipient for punishment to be appropriate.

 Reid Meets Magee At The Crossroads
Reid cracks the top 10 in the IBF ratings, whilst Magee is rated in the top 10 by the WBA and WBC, and the winner of this contest is certain to find themselves in the rankings of three of the major bodies.
Yes, Reid has always been capable of turning in a lacklustre performance, but at the age of 33, and with the terrible disappointment of the Calzaghe and now the Ottke title challenges, I don’t believe that Reid is going to allow this chance to slip by without giving it his maximum effort.
Reid knows that at 33 he isn’t going to get too many more chances, and that a win over Magee will not only give him a minor IBO title, but a chance to put his name up in the elite, with a view to taking on the current major belt holders.

Reid ripped Greenspan during an interview on CNN's "Inside Politics."
