George Berkeley: Religion and Science in the Age of Enlightenment

From the reviews:

“Parigi’s anthology brings together thirteen heretofore-unpublished essays on some of the lesser-known aspects of Berkeley’s thought. … Parigi’s own piece aims to shed light on the underlying theory of science she sees operating in Siris. … Parigi deserves credit for compiling a respectable anthology and in guiding the expansion of the essays from standard conference paper fare to the (mostly) well-written pieces they are. It is a solid addition to the growing library of work on Berkeley specifically and the early Modern period more generally.” (S. Seth Bordner, Philosophy in Review, Vol. XXXII (4), 2012)
