Stephen Daniel presents a study of the philosophy of George
Berkeley in the intellectual context of his times, with a
particular focus on how, for Berkeley, mind is related to its
ideas. Daniel does not assume that thinkers like Descartes,
Malebranche, or Locke define for Berkeley the context in which he
develops his own thought. Instead, he indicates how Berkeley draws
on a tradition that informed his early training and that challenges
much of the early modern thought with which he is often associated.
Specifically, this book indicates how Berkeley's distinctive
treatment of mind (as the activity whereby objects are
differentiated and related to one another) highlights how mind
neither precedes the existence of objects nor exists independently
of them. This distinctive way of understanding the relation of mind
and objects allows Berkeley to appropriate ideas from his
contemporaries in ways that transform the issues with which he is
engaged. The resulting insights-for example, about how God creates
the minds that perceive objects-are only now starting to be fully
appreciated.
