De què tracta
«Tractat sobre els principis del coneixement humà» (1710): existir és ser percebut.
Context i història
Berkeley nega que hi hagi matèria: el que hi ha són idees i esperits que les perceben. L'argument no és cap extravagància sinó una conseqüència estricta de l'empirisme de Locke, i ningú no l'ha refutat de manera senzilla — la puntada de peu a la pedra del doctor Johnson no compta.

When men consider the great pains, industry, and parts that have for so many ages been laid out on the cultivation and advancement of the sciences, and that notwithstanding all this the far greater part of them remains full of darkness and uncertainty, and disputes that are like never to have an end, and even those that are thought to be supported by the most clear and cogent demonstrations contain in them paradoxes which are perfectly irreconcilable to the understandings of men, and that, taking all together, a very small portion of them does supply any real benefit to mankind, otherwise than by being an innocent diversion and amusement--I say the consideration of all this is apt to throw them into a despondency and perfect contempt of all study. But this may perhaps cease upon a view of the false principles that have obtained in the world, amongst all which there is none, methinks, has a more wide and extended sway over the thoughts of speculative men than [Note.] this of abstract general ideas. [Note: "That we have been endeavouring to overthrow."--Edit 1710.] 18. I come now to consider the SOURCE OF THIS PREVAILING NOTION, and that seems to me to be LANGUAGE.…
