PAST MASTERS
General Editor Keith Thomas
'Being in company with a gentleman who thought fit to maintain Dr Berkeley's ingenious philosophy, that nothing exists but as perceived by some mind; when the gentleman was going away, Johnson said to him, "Pray, Sir, don't leave us; for we may perhaps forget to think of you, and then you will cease to exist.'"

Taken out of context, the famous doctrine here ridiculed by Johnson, and its corollary, that there is no such thing as matter, are easy to misunderstand and underestimate. But by viewing Berkeley against a wider intellectual background than is customary, J. O. Urmson achieves an unusually sympathetic assessment of his philosophy. He sees Berkeley's work as a serious criticai analysis of the scientific thought of Newton and his predecessors, and of its metaphysical basis. He starts with a chapter on the philosophy of science accepted from Galileo to Newton, and uses this as a basis for his discussion of Berkeley's writings. He gives a clear account of the relationship between Berkeley's metaphysics and his analysis of the concepts of science and common sense. He shows, too, that Berkeley anticipated by more than two centuries a version of utilitarianism usually thought of as belonging to our own time. Vissza
