  • A
  • Treatise
  • Concerning
  • the
  • Principles
  • of
  • Human
  • Knowledge
  • is
  • a
  • 1710
  • work,
  • in
  • English,
  • by
  • Irish
  • Empiricist
  • philosopher
  • George
  • Berkeley.
  • This
  • book
  • largely
  • seeks
  • to
  • refute
  • the
  • claims
  • made
  • by
  • Berkeley's
  • contemporary
  • John
  • Locke
  • about
  • the
  • nature
  • of
  • human
  • perception.
  • Whilst,
  • like
  • all
  • the
  • Empiricist
  • philosophers,
  • both
  • Locke
  • and
  • Berkeley
  • agreed
  • that
  • we
  • are
  • having
  • experiences,
  • regardless
  • of
  • whether
  • material
  • objects
  • exist,
  • Berkeley
  • sought
  • to
  • prove
  • that
  • the
  • outside
  • world
  • is
  • also
  • composed
  • solely
  • of
  • ideas.
  • Berkeley
  • did
  • this
  • by
  • suggesting
  • that
  • "Ideas
  • can
  • only
  • resemble
  • Ideas"–
  • the
  • mental
  • ideas
  • that
  • we
  • possess
  • can
  • only
  • resemble
  • other
  • ideas
  • (not
  • material
  • objects)
  • and
  • thus
  • the
  • external
  • world
  • consists
  • not
  • of
  • physical
  • form,
  • but
  • rather
  • of
  • ideas.
  • This
  • world
  • is
  • given
  • logic
  • and
  • regularity
  • by
  • some
  • other
  • force,
  • which
  • Berkeley
  • concludes
  • is God.
