A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (Electronic book text)

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading. One of the most interesting features of "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" is the symbiosis between a radical empiricism and a bold and uncompromising "idealism." An artful combination of analytical rigor and unfettered speculation, of crystal-like precision of language and winged metaphors or sparkling images, George Berkeley's work is essentially a God-centered philosophy that argues that something exists only insofar as it is perceived by the mind.
