Abstract
Abstract Thomas Reid and William Whewell were the two central figures in ethical intuitionism in the 19th century. Sidgwick was likely to have studied them during the early stage of his development, since his own ethical position incorporates much of the substance of Reid’s and some of the methodology of Whewell. This chapter discusses Reid’s moral philosophy and some of the problems its raises. It also traces briefly the history of the Scottish school to its end in the work of Alexander Smith.
