1732170650London: Printed by J. Tonson 1732. The idealist philosopher's most substantial work First edition of Berkeley's defence of traditional Anglicanism against the nascent secularism of the early Enlightenment: a major work of 18th-century Christian apologetics. Alciphron is a critical source for Berkeley's wider philosophy of language. Berkeley 1685-1753 defends the Theist position that the world is dependent on an interventionist God providing religious knowledge through miracles and divine revelation. Enlightenment thinkers increasingly argued that a non-interventionist deity had created the universe to operate autonomously on machine-like principles and laws. In such a scenario the miracles and revelations of an interventionist God were of little use as a source of religious knowledge which was possible only through rational reflection. In challenging these ideas Berkeley collectively represents their chief exponents Locke Mandeville and the third Earl of Shaftesbury as the conceited free thinkers Alciphron and Lysicles. Volume II includes a revised edition of Berkeley's An Essay towards a New Theory of Vision first published in 1709 with a new title page and continuous register. In the Advertisement Berkeley notes that his earlier work is included as an addendum to the fourth dialogue which concerns the function of the senses in deriving knowledge of God. 2 vols octavo 194 x 120 mm.

Written in colonial America Berkeley's Alciphron is a vigorous defense of Christianity against the atheists deists and skeptics of his day. It elicited several responses from other theologians and would help Berkeley shape his later views concerning philosophy of language. According to Honderich "Berkeley is a most striking and even unique phenomenon in the history of philosophy. There have been many philosophers who have constructed bold and sweeping . metaphysical systems . have been devoted to the clarification and defence of 'common sense' . some have made it their chief concern to defend religious faith and doctrine against their perceived enemies. It is the peculiar achievement of Berkeley that with high virtuosity and skill he contrived to present himself in all these roles at once" Honderich 89. The volumes rebacked in later sheep the reverse of the front flyleaf of volume one has a pre-20th century inscription citing a 1746 publication each title page has a pre-20th century name in its margin.
