Berkeley: An introduction

by Jonathan Dancy

An introduction to the main ideas of George Berkeley's Principles and Three Dialogues, this study offers a new interpretation of some of the main themes in these works. There is a discussion of Berkeley's attack on the distinction between primary and secondary properties, his arguments for the existence of God, his views on perception and of his theory of the mind and the nature of human action.
