Tom Stoneham offers a clear and detailed study of Berkeley's metaphysics and epistemology, as presented in his classic work Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, originally published in 1713 and still widely studied. Stoneham shows that Berkeley is an important and systematic philosopher whose work is still of relevance to philosophers today.

Editorial Reviews
Review
...a fine book, with a lot of very good commentary and interpretation, along with a great deal of excellent philosophy. There is much to be gained by the study of this book, by both the scholar interested in Berkeley and the non-specialist philosopher. George S. Pappas, Mind Journal ... contains interesting and original discussions ... While Stoneham eschews scholarly disputes, and dispenses with footnotes, his book will certainly interest Berkeley scholars, while also providing much useful, if challenging, discussion for non-specialists seeking to engage with central issues in Berkeley's philosophy. The Philosophical Quarterly Berkeley's World is a careful, systematic discussion of the arguments and claims presented in the philosophical fiction of the Three Dialogues. British Journal for the History of Philosophy Stoneham has given the reader a thorough presentation and analysis of the Dialogues. Anyone would benefit from a careful reading of Berkeley's World, including Berkeley scholars and historians of philosophy. British Journal for the History of Philosophy There is much to praise in this finely written book, most important being Stoneham's attempt to correct the facile but persistent mistaken interpretation of immaterialism and the nature of ideas.
