Three Dialogues Between Hylas And Philonous

""Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous"" is a philosophical work written by George Berkeley, first published in 1713. The book consists of three conversations between two characters, Hylas and Philonous, discussing the nature of reality and the existence of material objects. Hylas argues that material objects exist independently of the mind, while Philonous argues that all objects are dependent on perception and do not exist outside of the mind. The book is a classic example of Berkeley's philosophy of idealism, which asserts that the world is composed of mental perceptions and ideas rather than physical matter. The dialogues explore various topics, including the nature of perception, the problem of skepticism, and the relationship between mind and matter. The book is considered a significant contribution to the field of philosophy and continues to be studied and discussed by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
