EnglishAbstract
Throughout his philosophical works, George Berkeley (1685–1753) emphasises the role that sign-usage, particularly in language, plays in human life, connecting it to our relationship with God—a central issue in his thought. This volume explores the myriad ways that he built on such insights to better understand a range of philosophical issues: epistemology, language, perception, mental representation, mathematics, science, and theology.
