George Berkeley's "An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision" remains a cornerstone of philosophical and scientific inquiry into visual perception. This meticulously prepared print edition offers access to Berkeley's groundbreaking exploration of how we see and understand the world around us. Published in the early 18th century, the "Essay" challenges prevailing theories of optics and the nature of sight. Berkeley delves into the complexities of vision, proposing a radical theory of how we perceive distance, magnitude, and position. He argues that our understanding of these visual qualities is not innate but rather learned through experience and association. A vital contribution to early modern philosophy and the philosophy of mind, this work investigates the relationship between perception and reality. Its enduring influence extends across metaphysics, psychology, and the study of optics. Scholars and anyone interested in the history of ideas will find this edition an invaluable resource for understanding Berkeley's revolutionary ideas about the nature of vision and its implications for our understanding of the external world.
