Bettcher (philosophy, California State U.) offers an introduction to the philosophical arguments and the two major works of influential Irish philosopher and clergyman George Berkeley (1685-1753). Traditionally considered strange and extravagant, Berkeley's views are known for their disregard for common sense, making his work challenging for students and others to comprehend. This book is a straightforward survey of Berkeley's paradoxes and concepts.
