Saggio su una nuova teoria della visione. Trattato sui principi della conoscenza umana (Testi a fronte)

Rate this book
Un'esatta comprensione del pensiero post-cartesiano non può fare a meno di confrontarsi con Berkeley e le opere raccolte in questo volume, fra le più discusse dalla letteratura specialistica berkeleiana e da quella epistemologica in genere. Il "Saggio sulla visione" contiene la formulazione compiuta della più influente teoria della percezione visiva sino alla metà dell'Ottocento, teoria che raccoglie ancora oggi il consenso di un gruppo consistente di psicologi. Il "Trattato sui principi della conoscenza umana" elabora invece quegli argomenti dell'idealismo che saranno discussi da tutti i maggiori filosofi occidentali.

About the author

George Berkeley (/ˈbɑːrklɪ/;[1][2] 12 March 1685 – 14 January 1753) — known as Bishop Berkeley (Bishop of Cloyne) — was an Anglo-Irish philosopher whose primary achievement was the advancement of a theory he called "immaterialism" (later referred to as "subjective idealism" by others). This theory denies the existence of material substance and instead contends that familiar objects like tables and chairs are only ideas in the minds of perceivers, and as a result cannot exist without being perceived. Berkeley is also known for his critique of abstraction, an important premise in his argument for immaterialism.
