The Ideal Theory Of Berkeley And The Real World

""The Ideal Theory of Berkeley and the Real World: Free Thoughts on Berkeley, Idealism, and Metaphysics"" is a philosophical work written by Thomas Hughes in 1865. The book explores the ideas of the Irish philosopher George Berkeley, who believed that the world we perceive is nothing more than a collection of ideas in the mind of God. Hughes argues that Berkeley's idealism is flawed because it does not account for the existence of a real world outside of our perceptions. He suggests that there must be some objective reality that exists independently of our minds, and that our perceptions of this reality are limited by our senses. The book delves into the nature of reality, perception, and the relationship between the mind and the world. It offers an insightful critique of Berkeley's idealism and provides a thought-provoking exploration of metaphysical concepts. Overall, ""The Ideal Theory of Berkeley and the Real World"" is a fascinating and engaging work that will appeal to anyone interested in philosophy, metaphysics, and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
