George Berkeley is one of the most prominent philosophers of the 18th century. His "Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" is a focal point for the understanding of empiricist thought and the development of 18th-century philosophy. This volume introduces and assesses: Berkeley's life and the background to the "Principles"; the ideas and text in the treatise; and Berkeley's continuing importance to philosophy. The book should be valuable reading to those students not familiar with Berkeley.
