By the time of Immanuel Kant, Berkeley had been caIled, among other
things, a sceptic, an atheist, a solipsist, and an idealist. In our
own day, however, the suggestion has been ad vanced that Berkeley
is bett er understood if interpreted as a realist and man of common
sense. Regardless of whether in the end one decides to treat hirn
as a subjective idealist or as a re alist, I think it has become
appropriate to inquire how Berkeley's own contemporaries viewed his
philosophy. Heretofore the gen erally accepted account has been
that they ignored hirn, roughly from the time he published the
Principles 01 Human Knowledge until1733 when Andrew Baxter's
criticism appeared. The aim of the present study is to correct that
account as weIl as to give some indication not only of the extent,
but more important, the role and character of several of the
earliest discussions. Second arily, I have tried to give some clues
as to the influence this early material may have had in forming the
image of the "good" Bish op that emerged in the second half of the
eighteenth century. For it is my hope that such clues may prove
helpful in freeing us from the more severe strictures of the
traditional interpretive dogmas."
