George Berkeleys "Eine Abhandlung über die Prinzipien der menschlichen Erkenntnis" ist eine lesefreundliche Ausgabe in Großdruck. Sie enthält die erste deutsche Übersetzung von Friedrich Ueberweg und eine Biographie des Autors. Der Text basiert auf der Ausgabe von 1869 und ist sorgfältig bearbeitet.
Subjective idealism is the central theme explored in this influential work by George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher. In "Principles of Human Knowledge," he argues that reality is shaped by human perception, dismissing any external reality beyond our senses. The book faced criticism from contemporaries like John Locke, prompting Berkeley to respond with "Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous," which presents a dialogue addressing these objections. Together, these works delve into complex philosophical ideas such as conceptual relativity and phenomenalism, making them essential reading for philosophy students.
Choć najważniejsze dzieła Berkeleya koncentrują się na problematyce filozoficznej, ich zawartość wskazuje na apologetyczny cel. Eseje i kazania zawarte w tym tomie dotyczą bezpośrednio problemów religijnych i teologicznych, mając na celu umocnienie wiary słuchaczy. Zawierają również cenne interpretacje systemu filozoficznego Berkeleya. Ostry podział na dzieła filozoficzne i niefilozoficzne byłby jednak błędny. Przykładem jest "Bierne posłuszeństwo" (1712), wczesna praca Berkeleya, która zawiera istotne treści jego filozofii moralnej i jest poprawioną wersją trzech kazań wygłoszonych w kaplicy Trinity College w Dublinie. Z kolei projekt założenia kolegium na Bermudach, przedstawiony w Jubileuszowym kazaniu, należy do pism o charakterze społecznym, ale także odnosi się do moralistyki ukazanej w "Alkifronie" i zapowiada nową wizję natury w "Siris". Te prace pokazują, że religijne i filozoficzne aspekty myśli Berkeleya są ze sobą ściśle powiązane, co czyni je istotnymi dla zrozumienia jego całokształtu myślenia.
