The Works Of George Berkeley: Including His Letters To Thomas Prior, Dean Gervais, Mr. Pope, Etc. : To Which Is Prefixed An Account Of His Life by George Berkeley. This volume gathers Berkeley’s early polemical and mathematical writings: the political-theological tract Passive Obedience arguing for absolute non-resistance to civil authority, the arithmetic treatise Arithmetic demonstrated without Euclid or Algebra showing how arithmetic can be grounded in first principles, and the opening discussion Motion aimed at clarifying empirical, non-metaphysical explanations of movement. The Passive Obedience sections present a natural-law basis for obedience, address objections, and frame a university-level discourse. The Arithmetic tract emphasizes demonstration and justification of rules, with an appended Algebraic Game to stimulate mathematical thought. The Motion portion begins Berkeley’s program of mechanical, sense-based analysis. Together with later essays and tar-water tracts implied in the surrounding notes, the work portrays an Enlightenment figure balancing religion, public virtue, and emergent experimental philosophy.
