Berkeley's World An Examination of the Three Dialogues [Paperback]

Tom Stoneham offers a clear and detailed study of Berkeley's metaphysics and epistemology, as presented in his classic workThree 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.
