41. Berkeley
    A brief discussion of the life and works of george berkeley, with links to electronic texts and additional information.  
    http://www.philosophypages.com/ph/berk.htm
    
    Extractions: Internet Sources Irish clergyman George Berkeley completed his most significant philosophical work before turning thirty, during his years as a student, fellow, and teacher at Trinity College, Dublin. Using material from his collegiate notebooks on philosophy, he developed a series of texts devoted to various aspects of a single central thesis: that matter does not exist. In An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision (1709), for example, he argued that the phenomena of visual sensation can all be explained without presupposing the reality of external material substances; the objects we see are merely ideas in our minds and that of god. Berkeley spent most of his mature years in London, travelling briefly to Rhode Island in the vain hope of securing financial support for a college to be established in Bermuda. He was appointed Anglican bishop of Cloyne in 1734. His later writings, which rarely receive philosophical attention, include: criticisms of Newton's calculus and theory of space in De Motu (1721) and The Analyst (1734); a defence of traditional Christian doctrine in the

    Extractions: Berkeley, born in Ireland, was educated at Trinity college, Dublin. He eventually became an Anglican bishop. As a young man he published a number of philosophical works. In 1713, Berkeley came to London and from there, at the expense of a rich family who required a chaplain and a tutor, travelled to France and Italy; he spent the best part of seven years on the continent (shades of John Locke ). By 1721, Berkeley had returned back to Ireland, and, in 1728, he sailed for America for the purpose "of founding a college at the Bermudas for the Christian civilization of America." He did not achieve his purpose. After having spent three years at Rhode Island he returned back to England. Locke made a distinction between "primary" and "secondary" qualities of things that exist. Berkeley picked up on Locke's belief that all that exists is capable of being sensed or experienced, that there is no existence of matter independent of perception. But Berkeley went beyond Locke in holding that it is only because of "the observing mind of God makes possible the continued apparent existence of material objects." His views lead to some difficulty. "Berkeley's philosophy ends with the existence of spiritual substance as a substitute for material substance ..." [Henry Alphern, An Outline History of Philosophy (Forum House, 1969) p. 109.]

43. Consciousness Studies
    The nature of consciousness and its relationship to the physical world. References to george berkeley and psi phenomena.  
    http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~ursa/philos/cns.htm
    
    Extractions: In the West, consciousness has been an astonishingly neglected subject. This probably has something to do with the West's obsession with physical modes of observation and mechanistic modes of explanation. Consciousness tended to get left out of consideration when the scientific revolution got started in the seventeenth century. Then a vicious spiral set in: since consciousness was neglected as a subject of investigation, each new generation of scientists passed over it more quickly - because the previous generation had so little to say about it. Eventually it became utterly marginalised. In the last two decades of the twentieth century, however, this trend went into reverse gear, and more and more resources are being directed toward innovative and systematic investigations of consciousness. Below you will find my own essays and papers on the 'mental monism' approach to the study of consciousness, as well as links to other web sites that I think are interesting or important. Mental monism is the thesis that consciousness is the primary reality, and that the physical world is a derived construct. In the West, this theory had its clearest statement in the philosophy of Bishop George Berkeley, an eighteenth-century opponent of Sir Isaac Newton. Similar, but weaker views were championed by Ernst Mach two hundred years later. On the whole, however, this perspective has been neglected in the West. In fact, it is now more commonly encountered either through the imported versions of Buddhism and Hinduism, or through experiences with psychotropic drugs. Aldous Huxley, for example, in his "Perennial Philosophy", takes his cue from those sources.

Gree[ne] These two inscriptions were first noticed in print in 1825, and much has been written about them since, initially in respect to Robert Greene, and later in respect to Sir George Buc. The inscriptions have scarcely been noticed at all by Shakespeare biographers. The inscriptions clearly reveal that George Buc, who would serve as Master of the Revels from 1610 to 1622, knew Shakespeare personally and considered him a reliable informant on the authorship of George a Greene , which we know from other evidence was performed on five occasions in December 1593 and January 1594. I reported on the George a Greene inscriptions at the Shakespeare World Congress in April 1996. My article on this subject has been published in Shakespeare Quarterly , 49 (Spring 1998), 74-83.

51. George Berkeley [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    Scholarly article on his life and thought.  
    http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/b/berkeley.htm
    
    Extractions: George Berkeley was one of the three most famous eighteenth century British Empiricists (see LOCKE, JOHN and HUME, DAVID). He is best known for his motto, esse is percipi , to be is to be perceived. He was an idealist: everything that exists is either a mind or depends for its existence upon a mind. He was an immaterialist: matter does not exist. He accepted the seemingly outrageous position that ordinary physical objects are composed solely of ideas, which are inherently mental. He wrote on vision, mathematics, Newtonian mechanics, economics, and medicine as well as philosophy. In his own time, his most often-read works concerned the medicinal value of tar-water. And in a curious sense, he was the first great American philosopher. 1. Life and Works George Berkeley was born in or near Kilkenny, Ireland on 12 March 1685. He was raised in Dysart Castle. Although his father was English, Berkeley always considered himself Irish. In 1696, he entered Kilkenny College. He entered Trinity College, Dublin on 21 March 1700 and received his B.A. in 1704. He remained associated with Trinity College until 1724. In 1706 he competed for a College Fellowship which had become available and became a Junior Fellow on 9 June 1707. After completing his doctorate, he became a Senior Fellow in 1717. As was common practice for British academics at the time, Berkeley was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1710.

    Joseph Stock's 1776 biography.  
    http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Berkeley/Stock/Life.html
    
    Extractions: Late Bishop of Cloyne in Ireland By Joseph Stock Published 1776 INTRODUCTION. LIFE OF BISHOP BERKELEY. DR. GEORGE BERKELEY, the learned and ingenious bishop of Cloyne in Ireland, was a native of that kingdom, and the son of WILLIAM BERKELEY of Thomastown, in the county of Kilkenny, whose father went over to Ireland after the Restoration (the family having suffered greatly for their loyalty to Charles I.) and there obtained the collectorship of Belfast. Our author was born March 12, 1684, at Kilcrin near Thomastown, received the first part of his education at Kilkenny school under Dr. Hinton, and was admitted a pensioner of Trinity College, Dublin, at the age of fifteen, under the tuition of Dr. Hall. He was chosen fellow of that college June 9, 1707, having previously sustained with honour the very trying examination, which the candidates for that preferment are by the statutes required to undergo. The first proof he gave of his literary abilities was (A) Arithmetica absque Algebra aut Euclide demonstrata , which, from the preface, he appears to have written before he was twenty years old, though he did not publish it till 1707. It is dedicated to Mr. Palliser, son to the archbishop of Cashel, and is followed by a Mathematical Miscellany, containing some very ingenious observations and theorems inscribed to his pupil Mr. Samuel Molyneux, a gentleman of whom we shall have occasion to make further mention presently, and whose father was the celebrated friend and correspondent of Mr. Locke.

That online text, including hypertext anchors, has been prepared by David Wilkins of Trinity College, Dublin. Discourse on Method (1637). He had depicted a fundamental chasm between what was called ‘matter’, solid substances extended in space, and ‘mind’, the intangible substance of our conscious experiences and thoughts. Descartes called these two substances res extensa or ‘extended stuff’ and res cogitans or ‘thinking stuff’. Five decades after Descartes’ seminal work, Sir Isaac Newton laid out the foundations of a comprehensive understanding of the world based entirely on matter, in his

    Extractions: First edition published 1709 1. My design is to shew the manner wherein we perceive by sight the distance, magnitude, and situation of objects. Also to consider the difference there is betwixt the ideas of sight and touch, and whether there be any idea common to both senses. 2. It is, I think, agreed by all that distance, of itself and immediately, cannot be seen. For distance being a Line directed end-wise to the eye, it projects only one point in the fund of the eye, which point remains invariably the same, whether the distance be longer or shorter. 3. I find it also acknowledged that the estimate we make of the distance of objects considerably remote is rather an act of judgment grounded on experience than of sense. For example, when I perceive a great number of intermediate objects, such as houses, fields, rivers, and the like, which I have experienced to take up a considerable space, I thence form a judgment or conclusion that the object I see beyond them is at a great distance. Again, when an object appears faint and small, which at a near distance I have experienced to make a vigorous and large appearance, I instantly conclude it to be far off: And this, 'tis evident, is the result of experience; without which, from the faintness and littleness I should not have inferred anything concerning the distance of objects.
