Selections From Berkeley: With an Introduction and Notes, for the Use of Students in the Universities (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This intriguing book is a trove of historical philosophical ideas. It presents a distinctive viewpoint on the origins of our perception of the material world and the metaphysical nature of matter. These ideas were foundational to the history of Western philosophy and continue to provoke insightful debate. The author challenges commonly held assumptions surrounding the existence of matter, arguing that what we perceive as solid and extended objects are actually intangible phenomena dependent upon the consciousness of observing minds. This challenges the conventional understanding of the relationship between consciousness and the physical world. The text provides a philosophical framework to explore the nature of perception, the origin of our knowledge, and the very essence of reality.
