This book presents a new introduction to Berkeley, guiding the
student through the key concepts of his work by examining the
overall development of Berkeley's ideas. George Berkeley
(1685-1753) was one of the most important and influential
philosophers in the history of Western thought. He is most famous
for his controversial denial of the existence of matter, and for
his 'idealism' - the claim that everyday objects are simply
collections of ideas in the mind. "Starting with Berkeley" provides
a detailed overview of Berkeley's philosophy, a user-friendly guide
to the interpretation of his arguments, and the opportunity for the
reader to critically engage with Berkeley's philosophical moves via
an examination of some of the common objections which have been
raised against them. Crucially, the book also introduces the major
philosophical figures and theories that influenced and inspired
Berkeley's thinking and gives a clear sense of the controversy that
surrounds the interpretation and evaluation of his ideas. Nick
Jones explores the full range of Berkeley's key philosophical
concepts in this ideal introduction for anyone coming to the work
of Berkeley for the first time. "Continuum's Starting with..."
series offers clear, concise and accessible introductions to the
key thinkers in philosophy. The books explore and illuminate the
roots of each philosopher's work and ideas, leading readers to a
thorough understanding of the key influences and philosophical
foundations from which his or her thought developed. Ideal for
first-year students starting out in philosophy, the series will
serve as the ideal companion to study of this fascinating subject.
