An important seventeenth century Scottish philosopher and poet, Brown's Lectures proved highly controversial and provoked an outraged response from contemporaries of his day. "Of the charge that he had betrayed the principles of Reid and Stewart, Brown was at once the victim and perpetrator. Even as Scottish philosophy was settling itself into a ?school?, Brown chose to stoke the fires of open and critical discussion?both publicly in the lecture hall and eventually in... the Lectures on the Philosophy of the Human Mind." (DNB).
