Description
George Berkeley's philosophy offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality. This clear and concise introduction explores his most important works, including those on vision, metaphysics, morality, and economics. Daniel E. Flage presents a thorough review of Berkeley's thought, distinguishing idealism from immaterialism and arguing that his account of what there is is dependent upon what is known. By examining the implications of this insight for Berkeley's moral and economic works, Flage sheds new light on lesser-known areas of his philosophy. This book provides a valuable introduction to Berkeley's oeuvre, challenging standard interpretations and offering a fresh perspective on his thought. Suitable for scholars and readers interested in philosophy, history, and surveys, Berkeley offers a thought-provoking exploration of one of the greatest philosophers of the early modern period.
