Person
George Berkeley
George Berkeley was an Irish philosopher and Anglican bishop of Cloyne, educated at Trinity College Dublin. In works such as A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (1710) he argued for immaterialism, the view that physical objects exist only as perceived. He also wrote on vision, mathematics and, in The Querist, on the economic problems of Ireland.
