carolined314's review against another edition
5.0
A fellow philosophy student once told me that this book made him want to knock on doors and convert people to belief in God. I understand that. Berkeley weaves a theory of vision that depends on God's existence, and is shockingly difficult to refute. It depends on solipsism, which makes it insidious for overly cognitive philosophy majors, and informed many later philosophers. The problems he poses are immensely difficult, and still being answered.
