Berkeley Process

The Berkeley Process is a philosophical idea proposing that what we perceive as physical reality depends on our minds and perceptions. Berkeley argued that objects don’t exist independently outside of perception; instead, they exist because they are constantly being perceived by minds, especially God's. In this view, reality is made up of minds and perceptions rather than material substances. It emphasizes the importance of perception and mental activity in constituting existence, challenging the idea that physical objects exist entirely independent of observation.
