Berkeley's philosophy was a vigorous reaction against the dominant materialist interpretation of seventeenth century physics. His intention was not to deny the existence of the physical world - simply to proclaim independence on the spirit. Berkeley's argument is remarkable for its economy and elegance, and his subtle and complex system remains a rewarding object of study in its own right.
This is the most comprehensive edition available, with introduction, chronology, text summary, annotated bibliography and extensive notes.
