Antique Framed Print : George Berkeley, Irish philosopher
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
George Berkeley, Irish philosopher
George Berkeley (1685-1753), Irish philosopher and Bishop of Cloyne (appointed 1734). Berkeley is famous for his philosophical theory concerning the perception of sensations and ideas. Now known as subjective idealism, his philosophy was summed up by the phrase Esse est percipi (" To be is to be perceived" ). Theologically, this means that God is an ever-present cause of experience, rather than the remote God found in the clockwork Newtonian worldview. Berkeleys works included his Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710), and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous (1713)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases George Berkeley, a prominent Irish philosopher and Bishop of Cloyne in the 18th century. Known for his revolutionary philosophical theory on the perception of sensations and ideas, Berkeley's philosophy is now referred to as subjective idealism. His profound belief that "To be is to be perceived" (Esse est percipi) challenged traditional notions of reality. In theological terms, Berkeley argued that God is an ever-present cause of experience rather than a distant figure in the Newtonian worldview. This perspective offered a fresh understanding of divinity and its connection to human existence. Berkeley's notable works include his Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710) and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous (1713). These writings delve into deep discussions about perception, sensation, theology, philosophy, and their interconnectedness. The monochrome illustration captures Berkeley seated in a study room with an air of intellectual contemplation. As he sits there engrossed in thought, we witness the embodiment of wisdom and scholarly pursuit. George Berkeley's contributions have left an indelible mark on both religious discourse and philosophical thinking throughout history. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of his enduring legacy as one of Ireland's most influential thinkers during the 17th-18th centuries.
