Berkeley's Principles and Dialogues cover

This volume sets Berkeley's philosophy in its historical context by providing selections from influential and contemporary works.

This volume sets Berkeley's philosophy in its historical context by providing selections from: firstly, works that deeply influenced Berkeley as he formed his main doctrines; secondly, works that illuminate the philosophical climate in which those doctrines were formed; and thirdly, works that display Berkeley's subsequent philosophical influence. The first category is represented by selections from Descartes, Malebranche, Bayle, and Locke; the second category includes extracts from such thinkers as Regius, Lanion, Arnauld, Lee, and Norris; while reactions to Berkeley, both positive and negative, are drawn from a wide range of thinkers - Leibniz, Baxter, Hume, Diderot, Voltaire, Reid, Kant, Herder, and Mill.

'The result of this careful editorial work is an absorbing volume that is a real pleasure and education to read as a continuous narrative.' R. S. Woolhouse, Philosophical Investigations
