Exploring how two great minds seek a single, reliable unity of knowledge
In this thoughtful analysis, the author compares Berkeley and Kant to show how each philosopher builds a complete system from experience, reason, and a guiding synthetic activity. The study traces their dualisms, their ideas about identity, and the roles of mind and world in making knowledge possible.
This edition frames the debate around unity and method. It explains how Berkeley moves from sense to reason, how Kant ties perception and conception into a necessary synthesis, and how later thinkers push those ideas further. The book also discusses how induction and deduction illuminate the paths these thinkers took from experience toward universal claims, including the idea of a higher category that underpins knowledge itself."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the intersection of the metaphysical and psychological theories of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant and the Irish philosopher George Berkeley. The author draws parallels between their respective theories of the transcendental unity of apperception and the will, and argues that both attempted to provide a synthetic principle of knowledge in order to defend their philosophical systems against skepticism. The author analyzes Kant and Berkeley's positions and ideas thoroughly, and concludes that they produced significant insights into our understanding of the relationship between the mind and the external world.
