Claude Buffier: Common Sense, Metaphysics, and Sociability is the first English-Language collection of essays on the philosophy of Claude Buffier, who exerted an influence on many different authors (including Reid, Hume, and Kant). It focuses on three key aspects of his writings. Part I explores central tenets of Buffier's philosophy of common sense. Part II reflects on his metaphysics of the self, identity, and duration. Part III examines Buffier's thought on social life, with chapters on his conceptions of freedom, social order, and the equality of the sexes. While focusing on arguments and claims central to Buffier's thought, all chapters seek to place him in his intellectual context by tracing the positions which he responded to and those he built on.
