Studies Reid's moral philosophy and his aesthetics partly by way of an exposition and appraisal of his anatomy of the self, i.e. his division of the mind in terms of its powers and the assignment of the many principles of action to their appropriate levels. A pervasive topic is the consideration of the appropriateness of deterministic computational cognitive science models of Reid's accounts of powers introduced by John Smith III and extensively employed by Keith Lehrer in his important study of Reid's philosophy.

The definitive guide to the meaning of today’s most popular praise and worship songs. Few things influence Christians’ understanding of the faith more than the songs they sing in worship. The explosion of praise and worship music in the last fifteen years has profoundly affected our experience of God. So what are those songs telling us about who God is? In what ways have they made us more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ? In what ways have they failed to embody the full message of the gospel? Working with the lists of the most frequently sung praise and worship songs from recent years, the authors of this book offer an objective but supportive assessment of the meaning and contribution of the Christian music that has been so important in the lives of contemporary believers.
