Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-07 00:00:00 David Kaufman A fellow philosophy student once told me that this book made him want to knock on doors and convert people to belief in God. I understand that. Berkeley weaves a theory of vision that depends on God's existence, and is shockingly difficult to refute. It depends on solipsism, which makes it insidious for overly cognitive philosophy majors, and informed many later philosophers. The problems he poses are immensely difficult, and still being answered. Best part is the need for interaction to perceive. So true. Perception relies upon relations, not upon objects themselves; makes such sense.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-10-20 00:00:00 Allen Gugar Interesting early attempt to develop a theory of vision.
