"Thomas Reid, a Scottish philosopher and a contemporary of David Hume, is known for his common-sense philosophy, which posits that common sense beliefs have a greater evidentiary value than philosophical or scientific evidence."
I'd be wary of your idea he is someone who cares about objective reality.
1. Plato believed with live in a degenerate physical world that was a reflection of an alternate dimension.
2. Christian philosophy believes god can change the rules of reality at any given moment.
3. Kant believed we cannot know the noumenal world (world beyond our preception)
4. Materialists believe we don't know anything and we're just atoms deterministically saying anything
And a ton of derivatives.
etc. etc.
Aristotle is the most notable exception who believed in hylomorphism, but it was very very early philosophy.
