Summary: "The Works of George Berkeley. Vol. 1 of 4: Philosophical Works, 1705-21" by Berkeley is a collection of philosophical texts written in the early 18th century. This volume focuses on Berkeley's early thought and the foundational arguments of his metaphysical theories, incorporating several key works related to vision, knowledge, and God’s existence. The collection is presented with editorial annotations and a biography by Alexander Campbell Fraser, enriching the understanding of Berkeley's work. The opening of this volume introduces the significance of Berkeley's philosophical contributions. It details his early life, education, and the evolving nature of his ideas as he began to question prevailing philosophical doctrines. The text outlines Berkeley's development as a thinker against the backdrop of new philosophical currents in Trinity College, Dublin, where he encountered various influential philosophies. Through his writings, Berkeley aims to challenge materialistic perspectives and argue for a world understood through the lens of perception and divine providence, setting the stage for his later, more developed arguments on idealism and the nature of reality.
