Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous in Opposition to Sceptics and Atheists
Produced by Col Choat. HTML version by Al Haines.
"Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous" by George Berkeley is a philosophical work written in the early 18th century. The book takes the form of a dialogue between two characters, Hylas and Philonous, who discuss the nature of reality, skepticism, and the existence of material substances. The central theme revolves around Berkeley's idealist philosophy, which argues against the existence of material substances independent of perception, challenging the foundation of skeptical thought. At the start of the dialogues, Philonous and Hylas engage in a conversation that explores the implications of skepticism and the nature of perception. Hylas initially expresses his concerns about the troubling ideas some philosophers propose, which undermine common beliefs. The dialogue quickly delves into the debate over material substance, with Philonous advocating that only ideas exist in the mind and that material objects cannot exist independently of being perceived. Hylas grapples with these concepts, ultimately revealing contradictions in traditional notions of matter and raising the question of the relationship between sensation and reality.
