John Russell Roberts

A Metaphysics for the Mob (eBook, ePUB)

The Philosophy of George Berkeley

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Contrary to popular opinion, there is a clear connection between Berkeley's philosophy and common sense. This connection, however, runs through that most maligned aspect of Berkeley's work, his view of spirits. To understand the former we must understand the latter. To this end, Roberts focuses on laying bare the core aspects of Berkeley's positive metaphysics i.e., his views on the nature of existence, the active/passive distinction, and the divine language thesis. What emerges is not only a coherent account of spirits but a surprisingly powerful philosophical position built upon the core commitments of mainstream theism.
