Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of George Berkeley, Vol. 1 of 2: Including His Letters to Thomas Prior, Dean Gervais, Mr. Pope, to Which Is Prefixed an Account of His Life Although the several treatises of the author in defence of Christianity, - in support of the diffusion of knowledge, - on discovering new means for the alleviation of human suffering, - and on promoting the study of metaphysics and mathematics, have obtained the applause of the learned, yet their association with his new and difficult theory in pneumatology militated so far against their reception with the public in general, that one perfect edition only of his works has hitherto ever appeared. This was a circumstance much to be regretted, since no other writer, of the literary age in which he flourished, has left more able, original, or useful advice, in religion, philosophy, and politics. His tracts, his treatises and essays, are brought together in this edition, in which the author´s letters are also included, having first been carefully collated with those published by George Monck Berkeley in his "Literary Relics:" and the treatises, Arithmetica absque Algebra aut Euclide Demonstrata; Miscellanea Mathematica; and De Motu, written originally in Latin, are here presented in literal English versions. "The Principles of Human Knowledge," however, seemed to require a greater degree of editorial attention than the other learned labours of the author, from their novelty, their difficulty, and the misrepresentations that have been circulated with respect to them by the ignorant or the envious.
