Synopsis "An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision"

Berkeley is most importantly a philosopher, the second of the three British Empiricists, following John Locke and preceding David Hume. AN ESSAY TOWARDS A NEW THEORY OF VISION was published in 1709, one year before his first important philosophical work, A TREATISE CONCERNING THE PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE. Yet the ESSAY is not primarily a philosophical work. It is a study of visual perception which is best classed with experimental psychology. Its major objective is to show how we perceive the distance and size of objects and their spatial relation to other objects. In so doing, Berkeley manages to criticize most of the accepted views on the topic. The last part of the ESSAY is a consideration of the difference between perception by sight and by touch and of whether we ever perceive the same thing by both faculties. It is in his treatment of this latter issue that Berkeley hints at the philosophical doctrines which he soon elaborated.

George Berkeley (Sir George Berkeley) fue un filósofo y obispo angloirlandés del siglo XVIII cuya agudeza intelectual dejó una marca profunda en la filosofía moderna. Pensador provocador y a veces jocoso en sus argumentos, es mejor conocido por su defensa del idealismo subjetivo, la tesis de que los objetos no existen independientemente de ser percibidos. Su estilo combina rigor lógico con una clara propensión a desafiar supuestos cómodos: si no puedes verlo, olerlo o medirlo, ¿cómo sabes que está ahí? Berkeley lo puso en palabras y puso a pensar a generaciones enteras.

Entre sus obras más influyentes están A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge y Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, textos en los que despliega su argumento de que la existencia de las cosas es inseparable de la percepción que tenemos de ellas. Más allá de libros, su pensamiento abrió puentes entre la epistemología y la metafísica, marcando un antes y un después en la reflexión occidental sobre la realidad y la mente.
