""An Inquiry Into The Origin Of Episcopacy"" is a book written by George Berkeley and first published in 1795. The book contains a discourse that was preached at the consecration of George Horne. The discourse is an investigation into the origins of episcopacy, which is a form of church governance that is characterized by the rule of bishops. The book explores the history of the episcopal office, tracing its roots back to the earliest days of Christianity. Berkeley examines the biblical and historical evidence for the episcopacy and argues that it is a divinely ordained form of church government. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is intended for both scholars and lay readers who are interested in the history and theology of the Christian church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous"" is a philosophical treatise written by George Berkeley in 1713. The book is structured as a series of dialogues between two characters, Hylas and Philonous, who are engaged in a debate about the nature of reality and the existence of material objects.Berkeley's central argument is that material objects do not exist independently of our perception of them. He asserts that everything we experience is a product of our senses and that the physical world we perceive is nothing more than a collection of ideas in our minds.Throughout the book, Hylas presents various objections to Berkeley's position, including the problem of skepticism and the challenge of explaining the persistence of objects over time. Philonous responds to each of these objections, offering a series of counterarguments and demonstrating the coherence and consistency of his position.Overall, ""Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous"" is a seminal work in the history of philosophy, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars today. It offers a compelling critique of traditional metaphysical theories and challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the nature of reality.You May Indeed Know That Fire Appears Hot, And Water Fluid; But This Is No More Than Knowing What Sensations Are Produced In Your Own Mind, Upon The Application Of Fire And Water To Your Organs Of Sense.

"A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" is a philosophical work written by the Irish philosopher George Berkeley. It was first published in 1710 and is considered one of Berkeley's major contributions to the field of metaphysics. The treatise is a key text in the history of philosophy and idealism.Key Themes and Concepts:Immaterialism/Idealism: Perhaps the most famous aspect of Berkeley's philosophy is his rejection of the existence of material substance. He argued that only minds and ideas exist, and that physical objects are nothing more than collections of ideas. This view is often referred to as "immaterialism" or "idealism."Perception and Reality: Berkeley's philosophy is centered around the idea that our perception creates our reality. He contends that everything we know or experience is based on our perceptions and that the external world is dependent on being perceived by minds.Esse est Percipi (To Be is to Be Perceived): Berkeley's famous dictum captures his central thesis that the existence of an object is dependent on its being perceived. If an object is not perceived, it ceases to exist. This idea challenges the traditional view of an external, mind-independent reality.God's Role: Berkeley invokes the concept of God as a guarantor of the consistency and coherence of the world. According to him, God perceives all things, and their continued existence relies on being perceived by the divine mind.Attack on Abstract Ideas: Berkeley criticized the notion of abstract ideas, arguing that general concepts or abstract entities have no independent existence outside of individual minds. This is a departure from the more empiricist views of philosophers like John Locke.Anti-Skepticism: While challenging the materialist worldview, Berkeley's philosophy also serves as a response to skepticism. By grounding reality in perception and the mind of God, he seeks to establish a stable and meaningful foundation for knowledge.Accessible Language: Berkeley wrote in a clear and accessible style, aiming to make complex philosophical ideas understandable to a broader audience. This accessibility has contributed to the enduring influence of his work.Berkeley's "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" is a seminal work that has significantly influenced subsequent philosophical thought. His ideas on immaterialism and the nature of reality have sparked debates and discussions among philosophers for centuries, making the treatise a foundational text in the history of Western philosophy.

Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous is a collection of three philosophical dialogues, in which the topics discussed are perceptual relativity, the conceivability/master argument and Berkeley's phenomenalism.An extension of Berkley's ideas, the work presents his philosophy in the form of dialogues. The author has presented arguments to prove the existence of god and that the material world consists completely of ideas and not physical objects. He reiterates that there is a deity that maintains order and arrangement in the world around us

Berkeley wird überwiegend als Hauptvertreter des subjektiven Idealismus gesehen. Diese Ansicht gründet auf Berkeleys Widerstand gegen den herrschenden Materiebegriff, den realistische Skeptiker wie John Locke ihrem Denken zugrundelegen. Desweiteren versteht er die Ideen als individuelle und nicht als objektive Gegebenheiten. Nicht die Erfahrung, sondern der Glaube allein garantiert die Zuverlässigkeit der Ideen. Neben seinen philosophischen Schriften, lieferte er wichtige Beiträge zur Mathematik und Ökonomie.Der Text des vorliegenden Neusatzes folgt der 4. Auflage, Verlag von Felix Meiner, Leipzig 1917. Der Text wurde leicht der alten Rechtschreibung angepasst.
