Scottish Common Sense Philosophy and the way toward the Restoration Movement

This is Episode 5 of this series based on the out-of-print book entitled Origins of the Restoration Movement: An Intellectual History by Richard Tristano.

In this episode, I discuss how Glasgow professor Thomas Reid helped revitalize the Christian faith while surrounded by the skepticism of Scottish academia having the philosophies of John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume as its pillars. By Hume's day, many lost confidence in their sensory knowledge of external objects. In the meantime, deism, the religion of reason and the rejection of divine revelation, thrived. Reid, however, came onto the scene at Glasgow University, succeeding Adam Smith as professor of moral philosophy. Having accomplished much throughout his 17 years at Glasgow, and ending his career there five years prior to Thomas Campbell's graduation, Reid's Common Sense Realism left an enduring, Christian mark not only in Scotland, but in the new American nation. Reid was not only influential among the intellectual elite of America, but also among the Campbells and other restorationists. Thanks to Reid, Christian leaders such as the Campbells remained confident in their sensory knowledge to extract data from the Christian canon of scripture. And despite the skepticism of Hume, Reid's fellow Scotsman and nemesis, American Christians remained firm in their belief in God's existence thanks to Reid's revitalization of the Argument of Final Causes, or teleology.
