""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 (commonly called Treatise when referring to Berkeley's works) is a 1710 work, in English, by Anglo-Irish Empiricist philosopher George Berkeley. This book largely seeks to refute the claims made by Berkeley's contemporary John Locke about the nature of human perception. Whilst, like all the Empiricist philosophers, both Locke and Berkeley agreed that we are having experiences, regardless of whether material objects exist, Berkeley sought to prove that the outside world (the world which causes the ideas one has within one's mind) is also composed solely of ideas. Berkeley did this by suggesting that "Ideas can only resemble Ideas" - the mental ideas that we possess can only resemble other ideas (not material objects) and thus the external world consists not of physical form, but rather of ideas. This world is (or, at least, was) given logic and regularity by some other force, which Berkeley concludes is God.

In 1709, Berkeley published his first major work, An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision, in which he discussed the limitations of human vision and advanced the theory that the proper objects of sight are not material objects, but light and colour.

"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 book written by George Berkeley in 1713.Three important concepts discussed in the Three Dialogues are perceptual relativity, the conceivability/master argument, and Berkeley's phenomenalism. Perceptual relativity argues that the same object can appear to have different characteristics depending on the observer's perspective. Since objective features of objects cannot change without an inherent change in the object itself, shape must not be an objective feature. Berkeley uses Hylas as his primary contemporary philosophical adversary. In the Dialogues, the name Hylas is derived from an ancient Greek word for "matter," which Hylas argues for in the dialogue. Using Philonous, Berkeley argues his own metaphysical views, which were first developed in his earlier book A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge. Philonous translates as "lover of mind."

Berkeleys Abhandlung �����ber die Prinzipien der menschlichen Erkenntnis: und eine Untersuchung in Betreff des menschlichen Verstandes ist ein Buch des irischen Philosophen George Berkeley, das erstmals im Jahr 1710 ver������ffentlicht wurde. Das Werk ist eine Abhandlung �����ber die Natur der menschlichen Erkenntnis und die Beziehung zwischen Wahrnehmung und Realit�����t. Berkeley argumentiert, dass die Wahrnehmung der Welt durch den menschlichen Verstand nicht von der Realit�����t getrennt werden kann, sondern dass die Wahrnehmung selbst die Realit�����t ist. Er behauptet, dass die Ideen, die wir in unserem Geist haben, die einzigen Dinge sind, von denen wir sicher sein k������nnen, dass sie existieren. Das Buch ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Philosophie des Idealismus und hat einen gro�����en Einfluss auf die moderne Philosophie und Wissenschaft. Die Ausgabe von 1869 enth�����lt eine Einf�����hrung und Anmerkungen des Herausgebers, die den historischen Kontext des Werkes erl�����utern und seine Bedeutung f�����r die zeitgen������ssische Philosophie und Wissenschaft hervorheben.This Book Is In German.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Philosophy being nothing else but the study of wisdom and truth, it may with reason be expected that those who have spent most time and pains in it should enjoy a greater calm and serenity of mind, a greater clearness and evidence of knowledge, and be less disturbed with doubts and difficulties than other men.
