Description: Berkeley: An Interpretation by Kenneth P. Winkler Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description George Berkeley (1685-1753) is famous for his doctrine that matter does not exist, and that sensations are caused by God. Kenneth P. Winkler offers an interpretation and assessment of the arguments Berkeley gives in defence of this central doctrine, and places it in the context of Berkeleys thought as a whole. Publisher Description David Hume wrote that Berkeleys arguments `admit of no answer but produce no conviction. This book aims at the kind of understanding of Berkeleys philosophy that comes from seeing how we ourselves might be brought to embrace it. Berkeley held that matter does not exist, and that the sensations we take to be caused by an indifferent and independent world are instead caused directly by God. Nature becomes a text, with no existence apart from the spirits whotransmit and receive it. Kenneth P. Winkler presents these conclusions as natural (though by no means inevitable) consequences of Berkeleys reflections on such topics as representation, abstraction,necessary truth, and cause and effect. In the closing chapters Proefssor Winkler offers new interpretations of Berkeleys view on unperceived objects, corpuscularian science, and our knowledge of God and other minds. Author Biography Winkler is Professor of Philosophy at Wellesley College, Massachusetts. Details ISBN 0198235097 ISBN-13 9780198235095 Title Berkeley: An Interpretation Author Kenneth P.
