Publisher's Synopsis
""An Essay Towards A New Theory Of Vision"" is a philosophical work written by George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher, in 1709. The book presents a new theory of vision that challenges the traditional belief in the existence of material objects outside of the mind. Berkeley argues that what we perceive as the external world is actually a product of our own minds and that there is no such thing as an objective reality. He proposes that our senses are only capable of perceiving ideas or mental images, and that these mental images are created by the mind as a response to sensory stimuli. According to Berkeley, the world we see is not a material world, but rather a world of ideas that exist only in our minds. This book is considered a landmark in the history of philosophy and has had a significant impact on the development of modern philosophy, particularly in the areas of epistemology and metaphysics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
