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

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.
Matematicos

http://www.mat.usach.cl/histmat/html/berk.html

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".

Extractions: Consciousness and Berkeley's Metaphysics by Peter B. Lloyd Modern science has no explanation for consciousness. In this book, the author claims that this is because the conscious mind is simply not physical. To understand consciousness, we must therefore go beyond physical science and into metaphysics. Rigorous philosophical arguments are given by the author to show that the metaphysical theory called 'mental monism' provides the only correct understanding of consciousness. Mental monism turns conventional wisdom on its head. According to this theory, consciousness itself is the primary reality, and the physical world is a derived construct - a convenient fiction that helps us to deal with our experiences of the world. Although this theory may seem paradoxical at first, compelling arguments are given by the author to establish that this is the correct view. The theory of mental monism was first given a clear statement in Western philosophy by George Berkeley, an eighteenth-century Irish philosopher. Berkeley put forward mental monism as a reaction to the rising tide of mechanistic Newtonian metaphysics, which had gained popularity by riding on the back of the scientific revolution. The stranglehold of materialism has lasted three hundred years, but there is now a growing awareness of the inability of physical science to address the problem of consciousness. Burgeoning interest in consciousness studies makes this an ideal time to revisit mental monism and reassess its value.

Bishop George Berkeley
Page promoting george berkeley's theological idealism.
http://hometown.aol.com/recogswell/

Extractions: This page advocates the theological idealism of George Berkeley. Berkeley lived in London, Rhode Island, and a remote corner of Inokelly, Ireland. He also travelled widely in Europe. In A New Theory of Vision , Berkeley shows that to be is to perceive or be perceived. His philosophical contributions have been much praised by some philosophers and maligned by others. I am creating this site in gratitude for Berkeley's explanation for the way things work. For me personally, for more than forty years, theological idealism has served well in my relations with the world and with the people whom I love. With this site, I hope to encourage the reading of works by and about Berkeley. What is Theological Idealism? Theological idealism takes quite literally the idea that we live, move and have our being in that which, for lack of any really helpful name, we call God. It also presumes that we know nothing about anything which does not arrive in our consciousness in the form of ideas. Idea therefore composes the fundamental unit of existence insofar as we can

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.

Extractions: Late Bishop of Cloyne in Ireland By Joseph Stock Published 1776 INTRODUCTION. LIFE OF BISHOP BERKELEY. DR. GEORGE BERKELEY, the learned and ingenious bishop of Cloyne in Ireland, was a native of that kingdom, and the son of WILLIAM BERKELEY of Thomastown, in the county of Kilkenny, whose father went over to Ireland after the Restoration (the family having suffered greatly for their loyalty to Charles I.) and there obtained the collectorship of Belfast. Our author was born March 12, 1684, at Kilcrin near Thomastown, received the first part of his education at Kilkenny school under Dr. Hinton, and was admitted a pensioner of Trinity College, Dublin, at the age of fifteen, under the tuition of Dr. Hall. He was chosen fellow of that college June 9, 1707, having previously sustained with honour the very trying examination, which the candidates for that preferment are by the statutes required to undergo. The first proof he gave of his literary abilities was (A) Arithmetica absque Algebra aut Euclide demonstrata , which, from the preface, he appears to have written before he was twenty years old, though he did not publish it till 1707. It is dedicated to Mr. Palliser, son to the archbishop of Cashel, and is followed by a Mathematical Miscellany, containing some very ingenious observations and theorems inscribed to his pupil Mr. Samuel Molyneux, a gentleman of whom we shall have occasion to make further mention presently, and whose father was the celebrated friend and correspondent of Mr. Locke.

http://www.cpm.ehime-u.ac.jp/AkamacHomePage/Akamac_E-text_Links/Berkeley.html

Extractions: Career Best known as a philosopher and critic of Hobbes and Locke , his work on econoic questions is largely contained in The Querist in which the problems of Ireland are discussed as a series of some 900 questions. The originality of his method is its application of moral and theological concepts to the question of economic development. He argued that Irish development needed positive government intervention and the creation of an appropriate moral and social environment through the efforts of the Church. His work in economics, as distinct from his philosophical writings seems to have had little impact on later thinkers.

http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Berkeley/vision.htm

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.
