Description

One of the greatest British philosophers, Bishop Berkeley (1685-1753) was the founder of the influential doctrine of Idealism - the belief that there is no reality outside the mind, and that the existence of material objects depends on their perception.

The "Principles of Human Knowledge" aptly describes this philosophical concept and argues strongly that the world consists exclusively of finite minds and ideas, as well as an infinite spirit, God. Berkeley's denial of any non-spiritual reality was initially harshly criticized by his contemporaries, who feared that his ideas would lead to skepticism and atheism. The "Three Dialogues" provide a strong response to these fears.
