Abstract
THIS is a valuable addition to the series of monographs on the philosophers who have mainly influenced Western thought. Much has been written already on Berkeley; yet Prof. Dawes Hicks succeeds in being both original and interesting in his account of the Bishop of Cloyne. In the exposition of Berkeley's doctrine, he rightly stresses the importance of his opinions about mathematics and the sciences for the understanding of his philosophical views; and the section devoted to Berkeley's place in history adds some fresh material to the valuation of this most fascinating thinker.
