Seine Lehre legte er noch einmal in Dialogform volkstümlich dar: Three dialogues between Hylas and Philonous (1713; dt. v. Richter, 1901). 1713 ging er nach London und besuchte von dort Paris und Italien. Bekannt ist B. auch durch seinen Plan, auf den Bermudainseln eine Schule zur Missionierung Amerikas zu errichten. 1728-31 bemühte er sich eifrig und opferbereit um die Verwirklichung seines Vorhabens. Er reiste nach Rhode Island, wartete aber dort vergeblich auf die ihm zugesagte staatliche Unterstützung. In Rhode Island schrieb er »Alciphron« (1732), eine Verteidigung des Christentums gegen die Freidenker. B. wurde 1734 Bischof von Cloyne (bei Cork in Irland).

http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/berk.htm

Extractions: Internet Sources Irish clergyman George Berkeley completed his most significant philosophical work before turning thirty, during his years as a student, fellow, and teacher at Trinity College, Dublin. Using material from his collegiate notebooks on philosophy, he developed a series of texts devoted to various aspects of a single central thesis: that matter does not exist. In An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision (1709), for example, he argued that the phenomena of visual sensation can all be explained without presupposing the reality of external material substances; the objects we see are merely ideas in our minds and that of god. Berkeley spent most of his mature years in London, travelling briefly to Rhode Island in the vain hope of securing financial support for a college to be established in Bermuda. He was appointed Anglican bishop of Cloyne in 1734. His later writings, which rarely receive philosophical attention, include: criticisms of Newton's calculus and theory of space in De Motu (1721) and The Analyst (1734); a defence of traditional Christian doctrine in the

Extractions: La crítica de Berkeley, tanto a los principios del nuevo algoritmo como a las demostraciones que los matemáticos empleaban en él, no dejo de causar impresión y su influencia se hizo sentir en forma más o menos visible en los matemáticos ingleses de entonces. Si esa crítica era inobjetable la teoría de "compensación de errores" en que se embarcó Berkeley, impresionado sin duda por la aparente paradoja de que, fundándose en principios y demostraciones tan deleznables, los nuevos métodos condujeran a resultados exactos, como lo comprobaba la mecánica newtoniana. Berkeley consideraba que el mundo externo es expresión del acto de percibir. El ser sólo existe en el acto de ser percibido. En última instancia, toda realidad tiene su existencia en la idea que Dios tiene de las cosas. Mediante este sistema, Berkeley intentaba refutar el materialismo. Sus obras más conocidas: "Tratado sobre el principio del conocimiento humano", "Diálogos entre Hilas y Filón".

Biography of george berkeley (16851753)
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Berkeley.html

Extractions: George Berkeley studied divinity and later lectured at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1734 he was appointed bishop at Cloyne, in which office he devoted himself to the social and economic plight of Ireland. An eminent metaphysician, Berkeley is best known for his attack on the logical foundation of the calculus as developed by Newton . In his tract The analyst: or a discourse addressed to an infidel mathematician he tried to argue that although the calculus led to true results its foundations were no more secure than those of religion. He declared that the calculus involved a logical fallacy of a shift in the hypothesis. He described derivatives as follows: And what are these fluxions? The velocities of evanescent increments. And what are these same evanescent increments? They are neither finite quantities, nor quantities infinitely small, nor yet nothing. May we not call them ghosts of departed quantities? Berkeley's criticisms were well founded and important in that they focused the attention of mathematicians on a logical clarification of the calculus. He developed an ingenious theory to explain the correct results obtained, claiming that it was the result of two compensating errors.

http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~ursa/philos/berkeley.htm

Extractions: Berkeley's family seal George Berkeley was a brilliant 18th century philosopher, who shook the world with his theory of immaterialism. This theory claims that eveything around us is ultimately immaterial it is generated wholly by consciousness. Stated bluntly and out of context, this sounds absurd, but when its subtleties are correctly understand, it makes perfect sense. It is also fully consistent with modern science. Relativity theory and quantum physics have dissolved the inert, material furniture of the world that John Locke and Sir Isaac Newton held to be fundamental reality in the 17th and 18th centuries. Berkeley, in his penetrating insights, took empiricism to its logical conclusion, and reached am understanding of the world as observer-dependent a conclusion that modern physics is only beginning to understand fully. Berkeley echoes the immaterialist philosophies of the East the Vedanta and Yogacara schools. He himself had only indirect knowledge of the Indian philosophies, through the teaching of the ancient Greeks such as Pythagoras, and later Plotinus. Only after Berkeley's death, when the Upanishads became available in the West, was Schopenhauer able to appreciate the striking connection between Berkeley and the Vedanta. Today, Berkeley is being rediscovered by a new generation of philosophers, keen to grapple with the problem of consciousness which physicalist science is incapable of giving an account of.

The ITG "Whole Frog" project is intended to introduce the concepts of modern, computer based 3D visualization, and at the same time to demonstrate the power of whole body, 3D imaging of anatomy as a curriculum tool. The goal of the Whole Frog Project is to provide high school biology classes the ability to explore the anatomy of a frog by using data from high resolution MRI imaging and from mechanical sectioning, together with 3D surface and volume rendering software to visualize the anatomical structures of the intact animal. Ultimately we intend to be able to "enter the heart and fly down blood vessels, poking our head out at any point to see the structure of the surrounding anatomy". A summary of this may be found in:
Biographies: Philosophers: George Berkeley (1685-1753).
A Blupete Biography Page Back To A List Of Philosophers george berkeley (16851753).berkeley, born in Ireland, was educated at Trinity college, Dublin.
http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Philosophy/Berkeley.htm

Extractions: Berkeley, born in Ireland, was educated at Trinity college, Dublin. He eventually became an Anglican bishop. As a young man he published a number of philosophical works. In 1713, Berkeley came to London and from there, at the expense of a rich family who required a chaplain and a tutor, travelled to France and Italy; he spent the best part of seven years on the continent (shades of John Locke .) By 1721, Berkeley had returned back to Ireland, and, in 1728, he sailed for America for the purpose "of founding a college at the Bermudas for the Christian civilization of America." He did not achieve his purpose. After having spent three years at Rhode Island he returned back to England. Locke made a distinction between "primary" and "secondary" qualities of things that exist. Berkeley picked up on Locke's belief that all that exists is capable of being sensed or experienced, that there is no existence of matter independent of perception. But Berkeley went beyond Locke in holding that it is only because of "the observing mind of God makes possible the continued apparent existence of material objects." His views lead to some difficulty. "Berkeley's philosophy ends with the existence of spiritual substance as a substitute for material substance ..." [Henry Alphern, An Outline History of Philosophy (Forum House, 1969) p. 109.]

Extractions: "Some truths there are so near and obvious to the mind that a man need only opens his eyes to see them. Such I take this important one to be, to wit, that all the choir of heaven and the furniture of earth, in a word all those bodies which compose the mighty frame of the world, have not any subsistence without a mind, that their being is to be perceived..." The Principles of Human Knowledge George Berkeley, trained in philosophy at Trinity College Dublin, continues the tradition of the Cambridge Platonists and the 4th Earl of Shaftsbury, who find the mechanical philosophy of Descartes, Gassendi, Locke, Boyle and Newton as dangerous as the complete materialism of Hobbes and Spinoza. Berkeley raises many problems for this materialist tradition. He attacks the doctrine of abstract ideas; he makes great use of the implications of the representative theory of perception; and he gives strong arguments against the distinction between primary and secondary qualities. Berkeley calls his alternative to the views he criticizes immaterialism. It is the doctrine that to be is to perceive or to be perceived. The universe, thus, has only two kinds of entities in it, spirits (which perceive) and ideas (which are perceived). March 12, Born the eldest son to William Berkeley, an officer of customs, near Kilkenny in Ireland.
