About the Author
George Berkeley (1685–1753), also known as Bishop Berkeley (Bishop of Cloyne), was an Anglo-Irish philosopher whose primary achievement was the advancement of a theory he called "immaterialism" (later referred to as "subjective idealism" by others). This theory denies the existence of material substance and instead contends that familiar objects like tables and chairs are only ideas in the minds of perceivers, and as a result cannot exist without being perceived. Thus, as Berkeley famously put it, for physical objects "esse est percipi" ("to be is to be perceived"). Berkeley is also known for his critique of abstraction, an important premise in his argument for immaterialism.

A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an 18th-century philosopher, is a groundbreaking analysis of the nature of human knowledge. It proposes a new way of thinking about the ideas we form, and the relationship between our thoughts and the physical world, that radically departs from the ideas that held sway at the time. The author develops a philosophical system that has had a profound influence on subsequent thought, anticipating later philosophical movements, including positivism and phenomenalism. Exploring the origins of our knowledge in sense perception, the author offers fresh and insightful arguments against materialism and skepticism, and in favor of the immateriality of the soul and the existence of God. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
