History of the Philosophy of Mind, Embracing the Opinions of All Writers on Mental Science from the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint) by Robert Blakey (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from History of the Philosophy of Mind, Embracing the Opinions of All Writers on Mental Science From the Earliest Period to the Present Time, Vol. 3 These English writers belong to the class of theoretical moralists, rather than metaphysicians; and as such have generally been considered. Their several writings exercised a considerable influence over the current of philosophical thought in their own country, during the latter part of the seventeenth and the greater part of the eighteenth century. They were never, however, much read or consulted on the Continent; being of rather too controversial a cast, to render them palatable in that quarter. All these abstract moral speculations rested on a system of metaphysical kwledge. That system was, in all its leading features, of a common sense character.
