George Berkeley and Early Modern Philosophy
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-289389-5 (ISBN)
Stephen Daniel presents a study of the philosophy of George Berkeley in the intellectual context of his times, with a particular focus on how, for Berkeley, mind is related to its ideas. Daniel does not assume that thinkers like Descartes, Malebranche, or Locke define for Berkeley the context in which he develops his own thought. Instead, he indicates how Berkeley draws on a tradition that informed his early training and that challenges much of the early modern thought with which he is often associated. Specifically, this book indicates how Berkeley's distinctive treatment of mind (as the activity whereby objects are differentiated and related to one another) highlights how mind neither precedes the existence of objects nor exists independently of them. This distinctive way of understanding the relation of mind and objects allows Berkeley to appropriate ideas from his contemporaries in ways that transform the issues with which he is engaged. The resulting insights--for example, about how God creates the minds that perceive objects--are only now starting to be fully appreciated.
Stephen H. Daniel is Presidential Professor of Teaching Excellence and Professor of Philosophy at Texas A&M University. He has written five books, edited three others (two of which are on Berkeley), and published more than sixty articles on 17th- and 18th-century philosophy and on current continental theory. He has received numerous teaching awards, given presentations throughout North America, Europe, and Australia, and from 2006 to 2016 was president of the International Berkeley Society. He is also an avid kayaker and author of Texas Whitewater.
