DEFINITION OF PERCEPTION
WHAT IS ?
Berkeley claimed that worldly things
are indeed as we perceive them, but
they are not things
Berkeley believed in a “spirit” he thought all
our ideas have a cause beyond our
consciousness, but that this cause is not of a
material nature. It is SPIRITUAL
“ALL WE CAN KNOW IS THAT WE ARE
SPIRIT”
Main Philosophy
That’s incomplete!
“ESSE EST AUT PERCIPERE AUT
PERCIPI”
“TO BE IS TO PERCEIVE OR TO BE
PERCEIVED”
Much Better
=)
