Synopsis

Whether viewed as extreme skepticism or enlightened common sense, the writings of Berkeley are a major influence on modern philosophy. Bishop Berkeley (1685-1753) was one of the great British empirical philosophers. He believed that the existence of material objects depends on their being perceived and The Principles of Human Knowledge sets out this denial of non-mental material reality. At first his views were unfavorably received by the London intelligentsia, and the entertaining Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous are a clarification of the Realist argument and a response to accusations of atheism and skepticism. In the nineteenth century John Stuart Mill wrote that he considered Berkeley's work to be of "greatest philosophic genius," and it is true to say that its Immaterialism has influenced many recent philosophers.

He has taught at University College Cardiff, the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University, and is presently professor of philosophy at the University of York and visiting professor at Rutgers University. He is the author of Locke’s Philosophy of Science and Knowledge, Locke, The Empiricists, and Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz. He has also edited Goerge Berkeley’s Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous for Penguin Classics.

Review


"This is a good collection. I like putting the Dialogues and Principles together this way. Berkeley is important and generally ignored. His arguments against Locke's notion of objectivity are powerful and need to be heard."--Patrick J. Mitchell, St. John's Seminary


"This is by far the best edition of Berkeley for college students. The introduction is brief and to the point. The explanatory notes are extremely clear and helpful, they can be used by the instructor to organize the course. This edition is a model."--P. Kerszberg, Pennsylvania State University


"A clear and manageable book whose organization renders it an exceedingly useful classroom text."--Peter Fosc, Hollins College


"A good classical text."--E.J. McCullough, North Dakots State University
