""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.

"Wenn wir das Aeusserste versuchen, um die Existenz äusserer Körper zu denken, so betrachten wir doch immer nur unsere eigenen Ideen. Indem aber der Geist von sich selbst dabei keine Notiz nimmt, so täuscht er sich mit der Vorstellung, er könne Körper denken und denke Körper, die ungedacht von dem Geiste oder ausserhalb des Geistes existiren, obschon sie doch zugleich auch von ihm vorgestellt werden oder in ihm existiren. Ein wenig Aufmerksamkeit wird einem Jeden die Wahrheit und Evidenz dessen, was hier gesagt worden ist, zeigen und es überflüssig machen, andere Beweise gegen die Existenz einer materiellen Substanz aufzustellen."Berkeley kann als das Bindeglied zwischen Locke und Hume angesehen werden. Er leistete seine Beiträge aus der Sicht eines Denkers, der von den Gegenständen seines Wahrnehmens ausging, daraus seine jeweils eigenen Schlussfolgerungen zog und diese gegen Theorien setzte, die aus seiner Sicht nicht zutreffend waren. In der Folge seiner zetetischen Annahmen vertrat er eine nominalistische Philosophie. Sehr viele Philosophen bezeichneten ihn als Immaterialist.

The book offers insight into the theory posited by one of the world¿s greatest philosophers. Principles of Human Knowledge, is a criticism of English philosopher John Locke and his beliefs surrounding conceptualism and realism.

A critical exploration of opposing views, Principles of Human Knowledge is a foundational text that still applies in modern philosophy. It examines the realist argument in relation to both the secular and spiritual realm. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Principles of Human Knowledge is both modern and readable.

Throughout history, but most especially during the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, great minds of philosophy grappled with two thorny questions: What are the objects of knowledge? and How do we come to know them? Using the revealing dialogue technique, Berkeley shakes the very ground of those who believe that something called matter exists to support the sensible qualities we perceive. In his critique of this view, Berkeley argues for ideas in the mind as the only true reality about which one can have knowledge. His arguments for these conclusions, and for the ultimate foundation of all sensible things, can be found in this essential work of early modern philosophy.

George Berkeley also known as Bishop Berkeley, was an Anglo-Irish philosopher whose primary achievement was the advancement of a theory he called "immaterialism" (later referred to as "subjective idealism" by others). This theory contends that individuals can only know directly sensations and ideas of objects, not abstractions such as "matter". The theory also contends that ideas are dependent upon being perceived by minds for their very existence, a belief that became immortalized in the dictum, "Esse est percipi" ("To be is to be perceived"). His most widely-read works are A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, in which the characters Philonous and Hylas represent Berkeley himself and his older contemporary John Locke.

Berkeley uses the Socratic mode of inquiry in "Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous" to question fundamental beliefs about knowledge and reality. These dialogues are between Hylas (whose name is derived from the ancient Greek word for matter) and Philonous, whose name means "lover of mind." The new physical sciences developed in the seventeenth century supported the materialism proposed by Thomas Hobbes and several other philosophers. This worldview proclaimed that all of reality consists of nothing but matter in motion, thus promoting atheism and ethical skepticism. The implications for politics, ethics, and religion caused concern among leading intellectuals in the eighteenth century. Whatever the value of the positive claims presented in this work, Berkeley foreshadows the philosophical impact of twentieth century physics, which challenges the foundations of such materialism and calls for a better understanding of both the physical and the mental aspects of reality.Berkeley was born in Ireland where he served as Bishop of Cloyne (Dublin). He published works in philosophy, mathematics, science, and religion. His other works include the "Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" and "An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision". He is one of the central figures in the tradition known as Empiricism.
