Synopsis "Principles Of Human Knowledge"

Principles of Human Knowledge is a work of 1710 empiricist philosopher George Berkeley. Mainly, this book tries to refute the positions of his contemporary John Locke about the nature of human perception. Although, like all empiricist philosophers, both Locke and Berkeley agreed that there is an external world, and this world is causing the ideas that one has in his mind, Berkeley tried to prove that the outside world is also composed only ideas. Berkeley did suggesting that ideas can only resemble ideas: the mental ideas that we possess can only resemble other ideas (not physical objects) and thus the external world does not consist in a physical form, but rather ideas . This world receives logic and regularity by some other force, which Berkeley concluded that it was God.

George Berkeley (Sir George Berkeley) fue un filósofo y obispo angloirlandés del siglo XVIII cuya agudeza intelectual dejó una marca profunda en la filosofía moderna. Pensador provocador y a veces jocoso en sus argumentos, es mejor conocido por su defensa del idealismo subjetivo, la tesis de que los objetos no existen independientemente de ser percibidos. Su estilo combina rigor lógico con una clara propensión a desafiar supuestos cómodos: si no puedes verlo, olerlo o medirlo, ¿cómo sabes que está ahí? Berkeley lo puso en palabras y puso a pensar a generaciones enteras.

Entre sus obras más influyentes están A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge y Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, textos en los que despliega su argumento de que la existencia de las cosas es inseparable de la percepción que tenemos de ellas. Más allá de libros, su pensamiento abrió puentes entre la epistemología y la metafísica, marcando un antes y un después en la reflexión occidental sobre la realidad y la mente.
