Description
The Works of George Berkeley V1 is a comprehensive collection of the philosophical writings of George Berkeley. Berkeley was an Irish philosopher who lived in the 18th century and is best known for his theory of immaterialism, which argues that the physical world does not exist independently of the mind. This volume includes a wide range of Berkeley's works, including his most famous works such as A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous. In addition, it also includes lesser-known works such as Alciphron, or the Minute Philosopher and The Analyst, a critique of the foundations of calculus. The book is organized chronologically, allowing readers to follow the development of Berkeley's ideas over time. It also includes an introduction that provides context for Berkeley's life and work, as well as an overview of the major themes and arguments in his philosophy. Overall, The Works of George Berkeley V1 is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, particularly those interested in the development of empiricism and idealism.1843. Part One of Two. Including his letters to Thomas Prior, Esq., Dean Gervais, Mr. Pope, etc., etc. to which is prefixed an account of his life. George Berkeley was one of the three most famous eighteenth century British Empiricists along with John Locke and David Hume. He is best known for his motto, esse is percipi, to be is to be perceived. He was an idealist: everything that exists is either a mind or depends for its existence upon a mind. He was an immaterialist: matter does not exist. He accepted the seemingly outrageous position that ordinary physical objects are composed solely of ideas, which are inherently mental. He wrote on vision, mathematics, Newtonian mechanics, economics, and medicine as well as philosophy. In his own time, his most often-read works concerned the medicinal value of tar-water. And in a curious sense, he was the first great American philosopher. Contents Volume One: Life of Bishop Berkeley; Letters, etc.; Of the Principles of Human Knowledge; Synoptical Table of Contents; Introduction; Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous; An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision; and Alciphron: or the Minute Philosopher, in Seven Dialogues.
