George Berkeley's Principles of Human Knowledge is a crucial text
in the history of empiricism and in the history of philosophy more
generally. Its central and seemingly astonishing claim is that the
physical world cannot exist independently of the perceiving mind.
The meaning of this claim, the powerful arguments in its favour,
and the system in which it is embedded, are explained in a highly
lucid and readable fashion and placed in their historical context.
Berkeley's philosophy is, in part, a response to the deep tensions
and problems in the new philosophy of the early modern period and
the reader is offered an account of this intellectual milieu. The
book then follows the order and substance of the Principles whilst
drawing on materials from Berkeley's other writings. This volume is
the ideal introduction to Berkeley's Principles and will be of
great interest to historians of philosophy in general.
