The Theory Of Vision: Or Visual Language, Shewing The Immediate Presence And Providence Of A Deity, Vindicated And Explained (1733)

""The Theory of Vision: Or Visual Language, Shewing The Immediate Presence And Providence Of A Deity, Vindicated And Explained"" is a philosophical treatise written by George Berkeley and first published in 1733. The book explores the nature of vision and perception, arguing that our perception of the world is not based on material objects, but rather on ideas and sensations in the mind. Berkeley posits that the immediate presence and providence of a deity can be seen in the way that our perceptions are organized and structured. He argues that the mind actively constructs the world we see, and that this construction is guided by the divine. The book is an important work in the history of philosophy, and has been influential in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science. It is written in a clear and concise style, and is accessible to both scholars and lay readers interested in the nature of perception and the role of the divine in human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
