Title: The Development of Berkeley's Philosophy
Description: Johnston Press, 2007. Reprint. Paperback. ISBN: 140676258X. Reprint of 1923 edition. "No apology would seem to be required for an attempt to examine the historical development of Berkeley's philosophy as a whole. In this book I have tried to throw light on the evolution of Berkeley's thought by a careful study of his works in their chronological sequence and by detailed reference to his relations with his predecessors and contemporaries. I have naturally devoted most attention to what is central in Berkeley's philosophy--his metaphysics and theory of knowledge,-- but I have not neglected the other problems that were touched by his wide-roving mind". (by the author) (About the subject of this book ) George Berkeley was born in or near Kilkenny, Ireland on 12 March 1685. He was raised in Dysart Castle. Although his father was English, Berkeley always considered himself Irish. In 1696, he entered Kilkenny College. He entered Trinity College, Dublin on 21 March 1700 and received his B.A. in 1704. He remained associated with Trinity College until 1724. In 1706 he competed for a College Fellowship which had become available and became a Junior Fellow on 9 June 1707. After completing his doctorate, he became a Senior Fellow in 1717. As was common practice for British academics at the time, Berkeley was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1710.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 400 pages. Near Fine with No dust jacket as issued .
