An Essay Towards A New Theory Of Vision (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169210899)

""An Essay Towards A New Theory Of Vision"" is a philosophical work by George Berkeley, published in 1709. The book proposes a new theory of vision, which argues that our perception of the world is not based on the physical properties of objects, but rather on our mental interpretation of the sensory information we receive. Berkeley argues that the world we see is not a direct representation of reality, but rather a mental construct based on our experiences and beliefs. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part presenting Berkeley's theory of vision and the second part exploring its implications for other areas of philosophy, such as metaphysics and epistemology. The book is considered a landmark work in the history of philosophy, and its ideas continue to influence modern discussions of perception and consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
