Book Description

This volume sets Berkeley's philosophy in its historical context. It provides selections from works that deeply influenced Berkeley as he formed his main doctrines (by Descartes, Malebranche, and Locke); works that illuminate the philosophical climate in which those doctrines were formed (by Regius, Lanion); and works that display Berkeley's subsequent philosophical influence (by Leibniz, Baxter, Hume, Voltaire, Kant, and Mill).
