Reexamining Berkeleys Philosophy (Toronto Studies in Philosophy)

"George Berkeley (1685-1753) is perhaps most famous for his assertion that our knowledge of the world is nothing more than the experience of our ideas. Reexamining Berkeley's Philosophy examines this aspect of Berkeley's thought, arguing that such a viewpoint assumes that physical objects and minds are better understood when discussed in the contexts of science, morality, and religion. This collection confronts the question: How can we know anything about the world if all we know are our ideas?"--BOOK JACKET.
