An Essay Towards A New Theory Of Vision - Hardcover

""An Essay Towards A New Theory Of Vision"" is a philosophical work written by the Irish philosopher George Berkeley. It was first published in 1709 and is considered one of the most important works in the history of philosophy. The book explores the nature of human perception and the relationship between the mind and the world. Berkeley argues that the objects we perceive are not physical entities, but rather ideas in the mind. He proposes that our sense of sight is not based on the reception of light by the eyes, but rather on the interpretation of visual cues by the mind. Berkeley's theory challenges the prevailing view of perception at the time, which held that the mind simply receives information from the senses. The book has been influential in the fields of philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, and continues to be studied and debated today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
