This is a small press' take on this classic work. The cover is the nicest looking part. There is a paragraph summary in typewriter set, or maybe old courier, that looks cheap. But the essay itself looks ok. Really not a bad book, and one who wants this work has to make choices, since there is no decent edition of Berkeley's works. There is zero critical material in this adequate, if overpriced, reprint.
Bishop George Berkeley is the paradigm 'idealist,' and is perhaps the 'whipping boy' of philosophy, but is a remarkably ingenious and overlooked figure who took naive perceptual consciousness to its limits, setting the stage for Hume. His theory of vision paved the way for his critique of Lockean empiricism.
