Central to his theory is the idea that existence depends on perception, encapsulated in the phrase "Esse est percipi." It highlights his key works, including "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" and "Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous," where he debates concepts with characters representing himself and John Locke, showcasing the philosophical discourse of the time.
