Stewart's philosophical views are mainly the reproduction of his master Reid (for his ethical views see ETHICS)
.
He upheld Reid's psychological method and expounded the " common-sense" doctrine, which was attacked by the two Mills
.
Unconsciously, however, he fell away from the pure Scottish tradition and made concessions both to moderate empiricism and to the French ideologists (Laromiguiere, Cabanis and Destutt de Tracy)
.
It is important to notice the energy of his declaration against the argument of ontology, and also against Condillac's sensationalism
.
Kant, he confessed, he could not understand
.
Perhaps his most valuable and original work is his theory of taste in the Philosophical Essays
.
But his reputation rests rather on his inspiring eloquence and the beauty of his style than on original work
.
Stewart's works were edited in 11 vols
