Rhetoric of Berkeley''s Philosophy

Klappentext The Rhetoric of Berkeley's Philosophy offers rhetorical and literary analyses of four of his major philosophical texts. Zusammenfassung The works of George Berkeley (1685–1753) have been the object of much philosophical analysis; but philosophers are writers as well as thinkers, and Berkeley was himself positively interested in the functions of language and style.
