About me / Bio:
George Berkeley was an Anglo-Irish philosopher, theologian, and scientist who is best known for his theory of immaterialism, which denies the existence of material substance and asserts that reality consists only of minds and their ideas. Berkeley was also a critic of abstract ideas, a defender of theism, and an advocate of the role of perception in human knowledge. He wrote several influential works, such as An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision (1709), A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710), Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous (1713), and Alciphron (1732). He also contributed to the fields of mathematics, physics, and medicine. Berkeley was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1710 and became the Bishop of Cloyne in 1734. He spent several years in America, where he founded a college in Bermuda and influenced the development of Yale University. He died in Oxford in 1753 at the age of 67.
