Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Review of Berkeley's Theory of Vision: Designed to Show the Unsoundness of That Celebrated Speculation Condillac also contested the validity of the theory, in his Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge, published in 1746 1, but a few years after the appearance of that work he be came a convert to Berkeley's views; and in his Treatise on Sensations unreservedly retracted his former opinions.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Berkeley's Theory of Vision This essay is a critical examination of Berkeley's Essay towards a New Theory of Vision. In section 2 Berkeley says that 'distance, of itself and immediately, cannot be seen', and this premiss is the basis of his conclusions. The most important of these are, firstly, that whatever is immediately seen has no existence outside the mind; and, secondly, that visible and tangible objects have no manner of spatial connection. The contributions to the psychology of vision, which the Essay also contains, are subsidiary to these two main themes. However, it will be argued that the first conclusion does not follow validly from Berkeley's premiss, and hence that the Essay really does nothing to support Berkeleyan Immaterialism. This means that, whatever Berkeley's confusions on the matter, we ought to abandon the tradition of interpretation that sees the Essay as a half-way house to the Principles of Human Knowledge.

This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to George Berkeley (1685-1753), there is fundamentally nothing in the world but minds and their ideas. Ideas are understood as pure phenomenal 'feels' which are momentarily had by a single perceiver, then vanish. Surprisingly, Berkeley tries to sell this idealistic philosophical system as a defense of common-sense and an aid to science. However, both common-sense and Newtonian science take the perceived world to be highly structured in a way that Berkeley's system does not appear to allow. Kenneth L. Pearce argues that Berkeley's solution to this problem lies in his innovative philosophy of language. The solution works at two levels. At the first level, it is by means of our conventions for the use of physical object talk that we impose structure on the world. At a deeper level, the orderliness of the world is explained by the fact that, according to Berkeley, the world itself is a discourse 'spoken' by God - the world is literally an object of linguistic interpretation. The structure that our physical object talk - in common-sense and in Newtonian physics - aims to capture is the grammatical structure of this divine discourse. This approach yields surprising consequences for some of the most discussed issues in Berkeley's metaphysics. Most notably, it is argued that, in Berkeley's view, physical objects are neither ideas nor collections of ideas. Rather, physical objects, like forces, are mere quasi-entities brought into being by our linguistic practices.
