	George Berkeley [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Berkeley's objective in the New Theory of Vision was "to shew the manner wherein we perceive by sight the distance, magnitude, and situation of objects.
		Berkeley explores the relationships between the objects of sight and touch by introducing the notions of minimum visibles and tangibles, the smallest points one actually can perceive by sight and touch, points which must be taken to be indivisible.
		Berkeley concludes his discussion of abstraction by noting that not all general words are used to denote objects or kinds of objects.

	George Berkeley (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Berkeley charges that materialism promotes skepticism and atheism: skepticism because materialism implies that our senses mislead us as to the natures of these material things, which moreover need not exist at all, and atheism because a material world could be expected to run without the assistance of God.
		Berkeley thinks that when we consider the stunning complexity and systematicity of our sensory ideas, we must conclude that the spirit in question is wise and benevolent beyond measure, that, in short, he is God.
		Berkeley's first response here, that we should think with the learned but speak with the vulgar, advises us to continue to say that fire heats, that the heart pumps blood, etc. What makes this advice legitimate is that he can reconstrue such talk as being about regularities in our ideas.

		George Berkeley (bark-lee) (March 12, 1685 – January 14, 1753), also known as Bishop Berkeley, was an influential Irish philosopher whose primary philosophical achievement is the advancement of what has come to be called subjective idealism, summed up in his dictum, "Esse est percipi" ("To be is to be perceived").
		As Berkeley's thought progressed, he may have almost entirely assimilated his theories to those of Plato, though this is far from certain.
		Furthermore, Berkeley’s unwavering panentheism is evidence that counts against a complete assimilation with Platonism, and Alciphron is a development rather than a revision of anything in the earlier works.

		Berkeley however was not so ill acquainted with the world, as to rest the success of his application to the ministry entirely on the hope his scheme afforded of promoting national honour and the cause of Christianity: his arguments were drawn from the more alluring topic of present advantage to the government.

	George Herbert Mead: Bishop Berkeley and His Message (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For Berkeley had a message which ran through the thought and writings of all his years, for which the ideology of his earlier years and the Neo-Platonism of latter years, the scheme for his Bermuda College, and his advertisements of Tar Water were but the carriers, largely dictated by his own times.
		Berkeley annihilated matter, but he left the entire reality of the material world in the mind of God and in our minds, as God produces there the impressions which are the world of our experience.
		When Berkeley sought to counteract the materialism of his time, by presenting perception as daily converse with God, he was met by Dr. Johnson's stamp of his foot on the pavement, by the Free Thinker's shrug of his shoulder, and by the indifference of the scientist.

		He attacks the doctrine of abstract ideas; he makes great use of the implications of the representative theory of perception; and he gives strong arguments against the distinction between primary and secondary qualities.

		Bishop Berkeley came to the defence of religion against Locke’s Empiricism, but did so by turning the empiricist theory "against itself".
		Berkeley’s subjective idealist attack on materialism, purporting to show that the assertion that something exists outside the mind of the individual human being is absurd, useless and unprovable, was in fact a great service to the development of materialism.
		Berkeley avoids outright "solipsism" by adding to his thesis, that the God can perceive sensations independently of us, thus allowing "things" to exist while we are not actually looking at them.

		Berkeley, in his penetrating insights, took empiricism to its logical conclusion, and reached am understanding of the world as observer-dependent -- a conclusion that modern physics is only beginning to understand fully.
		Today, Berkeley is being rediscovered by a new generation of philosophers, keen to grapple with the problem of consciousness -- which physicalist science is incapable of giving an account of.
		Berkeley's arguments are elusive because he accepts without qualms epistemological doctrines that would rate as a reductio ad absurdum of anybody else.
