Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge

"Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge" by George Berkeley argues that our knowledge of the world relies entirely on perceptions and ideas in our minds. He contends that material objects don't exist independently; instead, their existence depends on being perceived by minds, including God’s. Berkeley challenges the idea that physical matter is separate from perception, proposing instead that reality consists of only minds and ideas. This perspective emphasizes the role of perception in shaping our understanding of existence, encouraging a view where consciousness and divine perception underpin all that we experience.
