Extractions: George Berkeley was an Irish philosopher who is most famous for his doctrine of extreme idealism (as opposed to realism), asserting that material substances and things do not exist. Instead, what we consider to be objects like rocks and chairs are really just "ideas" and sensations which only exist in our minds, not in any external reality. Berkeley based this conclusion on the argument that the qualities we perceive through our senses can only exist when perceived, as ideas in our minds. Because objects are nothing more than collections of such qualities, with no more fundamental "essence" behind them (also known as the "bundle theory"), then it follows that objects themselves are merely ideas in our minds, with no more fundamental "reality" behind them.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key Berkeley, George , Anglo-Irish philosopher and clergyman, b. Co. Kilkenny, Ireland. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, he became a scholar and later a fellow there. Most of Berkeley's important work in philosophy was done in his younger years. His Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710), and the famous Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous (1713) are among his more important works. At considerable personal sacrifice he organized a movement to establish a college in the Bermudas to convert the indigenous peoples, going to Rhode Island in 1728 to wait for promised support. This support never came, and after three years he returned to England. He was made bishop of Cloyne in 1734. Berkeley in his subjective idealism went beyond Locke , who had argued that such qualities as color and taste arise in the mind while primary qualities of matter such as extension and weight have existence independent of the mind. Berkeley held that both types of qualities are known only in the mind and that therefore there is no existence of matter independent of perception (

Extractions: First edition published 1709 1. My design is to shew the manner wherein we perceive by sight the distance, magnitude, and situation of objects. Also to consider the difference there is betwixt the ideas of sight and touch, and whether there be any idea common to both senses. 2. It is, I think, agreed by all that distance, of itself and immediately, cannot be seen. For distance being a Line directed end-wise to the eye, it projects only one point in the fund of the eye, which point remains invariably the same, whether the distance be longer or shorter. 3. I find it also acknowledged that the estimate we make of the distance of objects considerably remote is rather an act of judgment grounded on experience than of sense. For example, when I perceive a great number of intermediate objects, such as houses, fields, rivers, and the like, which I have experienced to take up a considerable space, I thence form a judgment or conclusion that the object I see beyond them is at a great distance. Again, when an object appears faint and small, which at a near distance I have experienced to make a vigorous and large appearance, I instantly conclude it to be far off: And this, 'tis evident, is the result of experience; without which, from the faintness and littleness I should not have inferred anything concerning the distance of objects.

Extractions: VOLVER Berkeley, George (1685-1753), filósofo y clérigo irlandés, considerado el fundador de la moderna escuela del idealismo. Berkeley mantenía que no se puede concebir que la materia exista con independencia de la mente; los fenómenos de los sentidos sólo pueden explicarse suponiendo que hay un dios que provoca de forma continua la percepción en la mente humana. Nacido en County Kilkenny, Irlanda, el 12 de marzo de 1685, estudió en el Trinity College de Dublín, de cuyo cuerpo docente llegó a ser miembro en 1707. En 1710 publicó Los principios del conocimiento humano. Al no convencer a la gente de su teoría, publicó una versión más popular, Los tres diálogos entre Hylas y Philonus, en 1713. Sus exposiciones de su filosofía fueron consideradas como descabelladas por sus contemporáneos. Mientras tanto, había sido ordenado diácono de la Iglesia anglicana de Irlanda y fue un destacado pastor protestante. En 1728 viajó a Estados Unidos con intención de crear una escuela misionera en Las Bermudas. Aunque abandonó su proyecto en 1732, tuvo mucha incidencia en la educación superior de este país, ayudando al desarrollo de las universidades de Yale y Columbia y otras numerosas escuelas. En 1734 fue nombrado obispo de Cloyne, donde permaneció hasta su retiro. Murió el 14 de enero de 1753 en Oxford. Berkeley desarrolló su teoría filosófica como una respuesta al escepticismo y el ateísmo. Afirmaba que el escepticismo surge cuando la experiencia o las sensaciones se encuentran desligadas de los objetos, no dejando ningún camino posible para saber de ellos excepto a través de las ideas. Para poner fin a esta disociación, una persona tiene que reconocer que el "ser" de las cosas sensibles consiste sólo en que son percibidas. Todo lo que es percibido es real, por eso las únicas cosas cuya existencia se puede conocer son aquellas que se pueden percibir. Berkeley insistió, no obstante, en que las cosas sí tienen una existencia fuera de la mente humana y sus percepciones, pues las personas no pueden controlar las ideas que tienen. En consecuencia, debe haber una mente en la que existan todas las ideas, un onmipresente espíritu infinito, a saber, Dios, que lo percibe todo.

Extractions: Berkeley, and ten years later an earldom with the title of Fitzhardinge. He died without issue in 1857. His brother, Sir Maurice Fitzhardinge Berkeley, who succeeded to Berkeley under the terms of the 5th earls will, revived the claims, and was likewise given a new barony (1861) as Lord Fitzhardinge,. a title in which he was succeeded by two of his sons, the 3rd baron (b. 1830) being in 1909 owner of the Berkeley and Cranford estates. The earldom of Berkeley was never assumed by the eldest legitimate son of the 5th earl, and was in 1909 enjoyed by Randal Thomas Mowbray Berkeley, 8th earl, grandson of admiral Sir George Cranfield Berkeley, second s#~n of the 4th earl. In 1893 Mrs Milman (d. 1899), daughter and heir of Thomas Moreton Fitzhardinge Berkeley, 6th earl de jure, was declared by letters patent under the great seal to have succeeded to the ancient barony of Berkeley created by the writ of 1421; and she was succeeded by her daughter. In 1707 Berkeley published two short mathematical tracts; in 1709, ifl his New Theory of Vision, he applied his new principle for the first time, and in the following year stated it fully in the Principles of Human Knoul edge. In these works he attacked the existing theories of externality which to the Unphilosophical mind is proved by visual evidence. He maintained that visual consciousness is merely a system of arbitrary signs which symbolize for us certain actual or possible~ tactual experiencein other words a purely conventional language.

Berkeley held that both types of qualities are known only in the mind and that therefore there is no existence of matter independent of perception ( esse est percipi ). The observing mind of God makes possible the continued apparent existence of material objects. God arouses sensations in us in a regular coherent order. Selves and God make up the universe. Berkeley felt that his argument constituted a complete disproof of atheism. He believed that qualities, not things, are perceived and that the perception of qualities is relative to the perceiver.

Extractions: GEORGE BERKELEY PREFACE INTRODUCTION 2. The cause of this is thought to be the obscurity of things, or the natural weakness and imperfection of our understandings. It is said, the faculties we have are few, and those designed by nature for the support and comfort of life, and not to penetrate into the inward essence and constitution of things. Besides, the mind of man being finite, when it treats of things which partake of infinity, it is not to be wondered at if it run into absurdities and contradictions, out of which it is impossible it should ever extricate itself, it being of the nature of infinite not to be comprehended by that which is finite. 3. But, perhaps, we may be too partial to ourselves in placing the fault originally in our faculties, and not rather in the wrong use we make of them. It is a hard thing to suppose that right deductions from true principles should ever end in consequences which cannot be maintained or made consistent. We should believe that God has dealt more bountifully with the sons of men than to give them a strong desire for that knowledge which he had placed quite out of their reach. This were not agreeable to the wonted indulgent methods of Providence, which, whatever appetites it may have implanted in the creatures, doth usually furnish them with such means as, if rightly made use of, will not fail to satisfy them. Upon the whole, I am inclined to think that the far greater part, if not all, of those difficulties which have hitherto amused philosophers, and blocked up the way to knowledge, are entirely owing to ourselves- that we have first raised a dust and then complain we cannot see.
