Description

About the book : The book presents The Principles of Human Knowledge as a comprehensive explanation of a philosophical concept, asserting that the world is comprised solely of finite minds, ideas, and an infinite spirit known as God. Initially met with heavy criticism from his contemporaries due to fears of skepticism and atheism, Berkeley's theory challenges the existence of non-spiritual reality. However, The Three Dialogues effectively address these concerns. It promotes the belief that reality exists only within the mind and that the presence of material objects relies on their perception. According to this perspective, material substance is refuted, and ordinary items like tables and chairs are perceived ideas that cannot exist independent of perception. Additionally, Berkeley's critique of abstraction is renowned as a significant foundation for his argument in favor of immaterialism.
