Discover the Foundations of Idealism and Human Understanding
In A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, philosopher George Berkeley presents a groundbreaking exploration of perception, reality, and knowledge. Challenging the materialist worldview of his time, Berkeley argues that existence is fundamentally tied to perception—"to be is to be perceived."
This foundational work in empiricism and idealism invites readers into a deep philosophical inquiry about the nature of reality, the limits of human knowledge, and the role of the mind in constructing experience. Berkeley’s clear and rigorous arguments have influenced centuries of philosophical thought and remain essential reading for students of philosophy and epistemology.
Ideal for those interested in philosophy of mind, epistemology, and classical philosophy, this treatise is a cornerstone of modern Western thought.

Informazioni sull?autore
George Berkeley (1685–1753), also known as Bishop Berkeley (Bishop of Cloyne), was an Anglo-Irish philosopher whose primary achievement was the advancement of a theory he called "immaterialism" (later referred to as "subjective idealism" by others). This theory denies the existence of material substance and instead contends that familiar objects like tables and chairs are only ideas in the minds of perceivers, and as a result cannot exist without being perceived. Thus, as Berkeley famously put it, for physical objects "esse est percipi" ("to be is to be perceived"). Berkeley is also known for his critique of abstraction, an important premise in his argument for immaterialism.
