The article interprets the not of "common sense" as presented in the works of Thomas Reid. The focus is not primarily on Reid's epistomology or metaphysics or even on the history of the notion or its influence. Rather, the article is strictly concerned with Reid's use of the term. The notion is considered vague by some interpreters and it is confused with the "principles of common sense". The "principles of common sense" play the role of axioms in the model of the human mind that Reid is aiming at, and thanks to that they play the role of criteria since they are the rules of our thinking. We must only distinguish them from widely-shared prejudices. The "principles of common sense" are propositions believed by every healthy adult who understands the propositions in question, considering them without any prejudice. They are integrated into the structures of different languages, they hold up against explicit criticism, and the acceptance of these propositions does not have any absurd consequences. By the term "common sense", on the other hand, Reid understands the faculty of judgment in the area of sensory experience.

This paper depicts one of the essential elements in the tradition of European philosophy, namely a belief in the commonsensical endowment of the human mind. This position founds the non-evidential beliefs with regard to fundamental questions in theoretical knowledge and in human action. In particular, it combines the approach typical of the Scottish common sense philosophy with the philosophy of Blaise Pascal. In each case it shows the integral character of human knowledge, transcending the set of truths accessible in the knowledge based on discourse (raison). It pinpoints the role Pascal attributed to intuition defined in the categories of sentir or even instinct, working on such categories as esprit de finesse, identified with sens droit or esprit de justesse, categories essential in relation to the knowledge of principes. At the same time thus understood endowment of the human mind (lumière naturelle) corresponds, in certain aspects, to the knowledge based on coeur, the knowledge set in opposition to the rationalistic interpretation of raison, where on the grounds of religion lumière naturelle is complementary to inspiration or révélation.

Thomas Reid, founder of the Scottish school of common sense, held the thesis that all previous philosophical systems were tainted by the same “original sin” – the adoption (in various forms) of a representationalist theory of sense perception. He called it the “theory of ideas,” the consequence of which was to separate the subject and object of perception by an irremovable “veil of ideas.” Before formulating his own account Reid considered this issue from a historical perspective, attempting to demonstrate the validity of his position. The purpose of this article is to answer the question of the relevance of Reid’s views to the theory that perception is direct or immediate. It is primarily concerned with the view characteristic of the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition, traditionally interpreted as presentationalism, and Descartes’ views on the status of “ideas” in the process of knowing the so-called external world. At the same time, the analysis carried out points to simplifications in the Reidian interpretation of his predecessors’ views on the nature of perception and to features of the theories criticized that justify it to some extent.
PL
Thomas Reid, twórca szkockiej szkoły zdrowego rozsądku, głosił tezę, że wszystkie wcześniejsze systemy filozoficzne obciążone są tym samym „grzechem pierworodnym” – przyjęciem (w różnych formach) reprezentacjonistycznej teorii spostrzeżenia zmysłowego. Nazywał ją „teorią idei”, której konsekwencją miało być oddzielenie podmiotu i przedmiotu poznania nieusuwalną „zasłoną idei”. Konstruowanie własnej filozofii poprzedził analizą historii tego zagadnienia od starożytności do czasów sobie współczesnych, usiłując wykazać zasadność swego stanowiska. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytanie o trafność poglądów Reida, wyrażonych w przyjmowanej teorii spostrzeżenia. Chodzi więc przede wszystkim o pogląd charakterystyczny dla tradycji arystotelesowsko-tomistycznej, tradycyjnie interpretowany jako prezentacjonizm, oraz poglądy Kartezjusza dotyczące statusu „idei” w procesie poznawania tzw. świata zewnętrznego. Przeprowadzone analizy wskazują jednocześnie na uproszczenia w Reidowskiej interpretacji poglądów jego poprzedników na naturę spostrzeżenia oraz na cechy krytykowanych teorii, które w pewnym stopniu usprawiedliwiają tę krytykę.

The text treats of the so called metaphysical maxim in which David Hume formulated the relation between conceivability and possibility. According to this straightforward maxim, the imaginability of a situation constitutes a good reason for asserting its possibility. The text itself is divided into three parts. In the first part, I specify the exact nature of Hume’s key concept as positive prima facie conceivability. In the second part, attention is given to Reid’s critique of the metaphysical maxim. Thomas Reid put forward the objection that we are capable of thinking certain impossible propositions, which is in direct contradiction with the maxim under discussion. I show that Hume could defend himself against this objection in at least two ways: he could argue that Reid extends his maxim inappropriately from ideas to propositions. He could also argue that Reid understands the expression “to think” too broadly. The third part deals with contradictory concepts or, more exactly, ideas which, in Hume’s view, we have when we consider these concepts. Firstly, I formulate a paradox stemming from the disagreement of the maxim with the basic postulate of Hume’s psychology, then I show four strategies for overcoming this paradox.
