Excerpt from Berkeley's Theory of Vision This essay is a critical examination of Berkeley's Essay towards a New Theory of Vision. In section 2 Berkeley says that 'distance, of itself and immediately, cannot be seen', and this premiss is the basis of his conclusions. The most important of these are, firstly, that whatever is immediately seen has no existence outside the mind; and, secondly, that visible and tangible objects have no manner of spatial connection. The contributions to the psychology of vision, which the Essay also contains, are subsidiary to these two main themes. However, it will be argued that the first conclusion does not follow validly from Berkeley's premiss, and hence that the Essay really does nothing to support Berkeleyan Immaterialism. This means that, whatever Berkeley's confusions on the matter, we ought to abandon the tradition of interpretation that sees the Essay as a half-way house to the Principles of Human Knowledge.

Berkeley's Revolution in Vision

Book Description
Berkeley's Essay towards a New Theory of Vision (1709), his first substantial publication, revolutionized the theory of vision. His approach provided the framework for subsequent work in the psychology of vision and remains influential to this day. Among philosophers, however, the New Theory has not always been read as a landmark in the history of scientific thought, but instead as a halfway house to Berkeley's later metaphysics. In this book, Margaret Atherton seeks to redress the balance through a commentary on and a reinterpretation of Berkeley's New Theory.

Book Description
First published in 1842, this landmark work is a devastating critique of the influential Irish philosopher George Berkeley's theory of vision. Written by an acclaimed philosopher and economist, it provides a detailed analysis of Berkeley's argument that our perception of the world is entirely dependent on our visual experience. It also offers a powerful rebuttal of Berkeley's core claims, arguing that they are based on a flawed understanding of the nature of perception and the relationship between mind and matter.
