1871 The Works of George Berkeley
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding, Signed Binding
Complete in four volumes.
Bound by Morrell.
The collected works of George Berkeley, alongside a short biographical account of his life, and a selection of his letters.
George Berkeley was an Anglo-Irish philosopher and Bishop, who advanced the theory of immaterialism through his writings, and also critiqued abstraction.
These volumes include the most important writings of Berkeley, such as 'A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge', 'Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous', 'An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision', and 'De Motu', in which he argues against Isaac Newton's theories on absolute space, time, and motion. The views expressed in 'De Motu' were a precursor to the views of Albert Einstein.
This edition was collected and edited, with prefaces and annotations, by Alexander Campbell Fraser.
