Berkeley's philosophy has been much studied and discussed over the
years, and a growing number of scholars have come to the
realization that scientific and mathematical writings are an
essential part of his philosophical enterprise. The aim of this
volume is to present Berkeley's two most important scientific texts
in a form which meets contemporary standards of scholarship while
rendering them accessible to the modern reader. Although editions
of both are contained in the fourth volume of the Works, these lack
adequate introductions and do not provide com plete and corrected
texts. The present edition contains a complete and critically
established text of both De Motu and The Analyst, in addi tion to a
new translation of De Motu. The introductions and notes are
designed to provide the background necessary for a full
understanding of Berkeley's account of science and mathematics.
Although these two texts are very different, they are united by a
shared a concern with the work of Newton and Leibniz. Berkeley's De
Motu deals extensively with Newton's Principia and Leibniz's
Specimen Dynamicum, while The Analyst critiques both Leibnizian and
Newto nian mathematics. Berkeley is commonly thought of as a
successor to Locke or Malebranche, but as these works show he is
also a successor to Newton and Leibniz."
