Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1842, this landmark work is a devastating critique of the influential Irish philosopher George Berkeley's theory of vision. Written by an acclaimed philosopher and economist, it provides a detailed analysis of Berkeley's argument that our perception of the world is entirely dependent on our visual experience. It also offers a powerful rebuttal of Berkeley's core claims, arguing that they are based on a flawed understanding of the nature of perception and the relationship between mind and matter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Berkeley's Essay towards a New Theory of Vision (1709), his first substantial publication, revolutionized the theory of vision. His approach provided the framework for subsequent work in the psychology of vision and remains influential to this day. Among philosophers, however, the New Theory has not always been read as a landmark in the history of scientific thought, but instead as a halfway house to Berkeley's later metaphysics. In this book, Margaret Atherton seeks to redress the balance through a commentary on and a reinterpretation of Berkeley's New Theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1709, Berkeley published his first major work, An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision, in which he discussed the limitations of human vision and advanced the theory that the proper objects of sight are not material objects, but light and colour. 1. My design is to show the manner wherein we perceive by sight the distance, magnitude, and situation of OBJECTS. Also to consider the difference there is betwixt the IDEAS of sight and touch, and whether there be any IDEA common to both senses. 2. It is, I think, agreed by all that DISTANCE, of itself and immediately, cannot be seen. For DISTANCE being a Line directed end-wise to the eye, it projects only one point in the fund of the eye, which point remains invariably the same, whether the distance be longer or shorter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Berkeley's Theory of Vision Berkeley's Essay towards a New Theory of Vision is a work of genius, and one neglected by most philosophers. The reason may be that it is thought to be 'mere psychology', or else but a prolegomenon to the Principles of Human Knowledge. The object of the present study is to bring out its philosophical importance, an importance quite independent of the main doctrines of the Principles. But the only real path to the understanding of a philosopher's view (and the only real compliment we can pay to his thought) is to consider whether what he says is true. This essay is therefore critical as well as expository. It may seem out of place that a whole chapter of a book on Berkeley is devoted to discussing certain views of Hume on taste, sound and smell, questions which Berkeley does not discuss in the New Theory. There are two reasons for this. In the first place it will be shown that Hume's work here forms the natural extension and completion of the main theme in the New Theory. In the second place Hume's views on this topic are also neglected, although deserving and requiring much discussion. I am deeply grateful to Professor H. H. Price, and to Mr D. C. Stove of the University of Sydney, each of whom read my manuscript and submitted it to a most detailed commentary and criticism. My wife has given me invaluable help on points of style. Those who know the work of Professor John Anderson, of the University of Sydney, will perceive my debt to his teaching on numerous occasions throughout this essay. This study was originally written some years ago; in the meantime I have changed my philosophical position on some points. But I have judged it better to let the book stand as it is, rather than risk destroying its unity by tinkering with it. Publication has been made possible by a grant from the Australian Humanities Research Council, to whom I am very grateful.
