Berkeley: An Interpretation - Hardcover
George Berkeley (1685-1753) held that matter does not exist, and that the sensations we take to be caused by an indifferent and independent world are instead caused directly by God. Nature has no existence apart from the spirits who transmit and receive it. In this book, Winkler presents these conclusions as natural (though by no means inevitable) consequences of Berkeley's reflections on such topics as representation, abstraction, necessary truth, and cause and effect. He offers new interpretations of Berkeley's views on unperceived objects, corpuscularian science, and our knowledge of God and other minds.

From the Back Cover:
Aims at the kind of understanding of Berkely's philosophy that comes from seeing how we ourselves might be brought to embrace it. Berkeley held that matter does not exist, and that the sensations we take to be caused by an indifferent and independent world are instead caused directly by God.
About the Author:
Kenneth P. Winkler is an Associate Professor of Philosophy and Whitehead Associate Professor in Critical Thought at Wellesley College, Massachusetts.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Berkeley (1685-1753) held that matter does not exist, and that the sensations we assume are caused by an indifferent and independent world are instead caused directly by God. Nature has no existence apart from the spirits who transmit and receive it. In this book, the author presents these conclusions as natural (though by no means inevitable) consequences of Berkeley's reflections on such topics as representation, abstraction, necessary truth, and cause and effect.The author offers new interpretations of Berkeley's views on unperceived objects, corpuscularian science, and our knowledge of God and other minds. George Berkeley is famous for his bold metaphysical doctrine that matter does not exist, and that the sensations we take to be caused by an independent external world are instead caused directly by God. Kenneth P. Winkler offers an interpretation and assessment of the arguments. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
