A cornerstone of Western empiricist thought, Philosophical Works gathers the essential writings of George Berkeley, the eighteenth-century Irish philosopher whose radical idealism reshaped metaphysics and the theory of knowledge. The collection includes his groundbreaking works on vision, presenting Berkeley's famous argument that the material world exists only as perceived by the mind — a position famously captured in his Latin motto, esse est percipi (to be is to be perceived). Alongside the optical treatises, the volume presents landmark texts such as A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge and Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous, which together form the full arc of Berkeley's philosophical system. With an authoritative introduction and detailed notes by M. R. Ayers of Wadham College, Oxford, this edition presents Berkeley's ideas with scholarly rigour while remaining accessible to both students and general readers of philosophy.
