Synopsis
From the website:
Philosophy has been taught at Aberdeen since King's College was founded in 1495. Many distinguished philosophers have taught here, including Thomas Reid, the founder and leading member of the eighteenth-century Scottish school of Common Sense Philosophy, who had a European reputation in his own lifetime and now is studied throughout the world; and Alexander Bain, in the late nineteenth century, whose studies in the philosophy of mind helped to lay the foundations for modern scientific psychology.
