内容简介
一七三二年的七篇对话。贝克莱在此为基督教辩护,驳斥当时的“自由思想者”,并顺带把自己的整套哲学不用术语讲了一遍。
背景与流传
“Minute philosopher”是一句挖苦:把大事化小的人。对话者阿尔奇弗隆与吕西克勒斯所持的,正是沙夫茨伯里与曼德维尔的立场,贝克莱一一作答。第四篇含他最著名的论证——视觉语言:看,就是解读一批与其所指并不相似的记号,正如语词并不像它所指之物;于是整个自然便是一篇话语。第七篇则是一套远早于二十世纪的意义理论:有些语词起作用,靠的不是唤起观念,而是规约行为。此书写于罗德岛,其时他正等着一笔钱去百慕大创办学院——那笔钱终究没有来。
这是编辑性背景,不是可引用的来源:与作品本身的段落不同,这些说明无法在语料库中核对。

THE MINUTE PHILOSOPHER is an able defence of Divine Revelation. The writer is the celebrated BERKLEY, Biihop of Cloyne ; univerfally confidered as one of the firft Philofophers, who have appeared in any age, or country. For the difcufiion of this fubject he was better qualified than almoft any other man, by his pre-eminent talents, both natural and acquired ; particularly by his great learning and fingular powers of reafoning. This work Is an illuftrious proof of thofc talents, and may be confidered as a ftore-houfe, whence many fucceeding writers have drawn their materials, and their arguments. The Minute Philofopher coniifls of a feries of dialogues, involving moil of the important topics in the debate between Chriftians and Infidels ; the principal arguments by which Chriftianity is defended, and the principal objections with which it has been oppoi'ed. The reafoning is clear, found, and conclufive ; and has never been anfwered. The characters of the difputants are well chofen, and ably fupported ; and their converfation is fpirited and natural. The work is of courfe highly entertaining, as well as convincing.…
