Uno dei più grandi filosofi britannici, il vescovo Berkeley (1685-1753) fu il fondatore dell'influente dottrina dell'immaterialismo, la convinzione che non ci sia realtà al di fuori della mente e che l'esistenza degli oggetti materiali dipenda dalla loro percezione. I principi della conoscenza umana delineano in modo eloquente questo concetto filosofico e sostengono con forza che il mondo è costituito puramente da menti e idee finite e da uno spirito infinito, Dio. Negazione di ogni realtà non spirituale, la teoria di Berkeley fu inizialmente pesantemente criticata dai suoi contemporanei, che temevano che le sue idee avrebbero portato allo scetticismo e all'ateismo. I tre dialoghi forniscono una potente risposta a queste paure.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. One of the greatest British philosophers, Bishop Berkeley (1685-1753) was the founder of the influential doctrine of Immaterialism - the belief that there is no reality outside the mind, and that the existence of material objects depends upon their being perceived. The Principles of Human Knowledge eloquently outlines this philosophical concept, and argues forcefully that the world consists purely of finite minds and ideas, and of an infinite spirit, God. A denial of all non-spiritual reality, Berkeley's theory was at first heavily criticized by his contemporaries, who feared its ideas would lead to scepticism and atheism. The Three Dialogues provide a powerful response to these fears. Codice articolo CIN0140432930VG
