Berkeley - Ideas, Immateralism, and Objective Presence

Informationen zum Autor Keota Fields is assistant professor of philosophy at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Klappentext This book offers novel interpretations of several of Berkeley's most distinctive philosophical doctrines, including his theory of vision, heterogeneity thesis, anti-abstractionism, immaterialism, likeness principle, and the divine language thesis. Key to those interpretations is a focus on Berkeley's critical use of the Cartesian doctrine of objective presence, which demands causal explanations for the content of sensory ideas.
