The Ideal Theory Of Berkeley And The Real World

The Ideal Theory of Berkeley and the Real World: Free Thoughts on Berkeley, Idealism, and Metaphysics is a book written by Thomas Hughes in 1865. The book is a critical analysis of the philosophical ideas of George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher who is known for his theory of idealism. Berkeley believed that the material world is an illusion and that all we can know is the world of ideas. Hughes examines Berkeley’s ideas and argues that they are flawed. He believes that Berkeley’s idealism is not practical and that it does not accurately reflect the real world. Hughes also explores the broader implications of Berkeley’s ideas for the field of metaphysics. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the development of idealism as a philosophical concept. Overall, The Ideal Theory of Berkeley and the Real World is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to think critically about the nature of reality and our understanding of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
