Philosophical Works: Including the Works on Vision (Everyman's Library)

Berkeley responded vigorously against the dominant materialist interpretation of seventeenth century physics, proclaiming the dependence of the physical world on the spirit. This volume contains a selection of Berkeley's most important philosophical works, including "Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision," "Principles of Human Knowledge," "Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous," and his correspondence with Dr. Samuel Johnson.
