Alciphron: or the Minute Philosopher.

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. Wood engraving to title pages of both vols. Contemporary panelled calf neatly rebacked and recornered spines ruled and lettered in gilt raised bands edges sprinkled red. 18th-century signature of "William McGuire" to title page of vol. II.

"It is natural to call these machines mechanical or electronic brains and to speak of them as machinery that thinks.

He also headed his own publishing firm consulted for industry and invented and sold several build-it-yourself electronic computers and small robots Simon Squee Tyniac Brainiac etc. as educational tools. In his later years he became known as the conscience of the computer industry through his often-expressed belief that computers should be used not for military or destructive purposes but only for the benefit of society. . unknown books

Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge

187469444Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott & Co 1874. Full Description: BERKELEY George. A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge. With Prolegomena and with Annotations Select Translated and Original by Charles P. Krauth D.D. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott & Co. 1874. First American edition of the book which shook the intellectual world with its theory of immaterialism.

Previous owner's ink name on front and back pastedown. Some minor rubbing to head and tail of spine and corners. Otherwise about fine. "The principle which underlay all Berkeley's philosophical writing was based on a rejection of all speculation such as Locke's about the meaning and necessity of matter as a primal necessity to any theory of human understanding. Briefly Berkeley maintained that no existence is conceivable or possible which is not conscious spirit or the ideas of which such a spirit is conscious. This presupposes complete equation of subject and object: no object can exist without a Mind to conceive it. Without the pre-existence of the Mind mater and substance cause and effect can have no meaning. In the Principles externality absolutely independent of all mind is shown to be an unreal impossible conception: true substance is the conscious spirit and true causality the free action of such a spirit. Physical substance and causes are relations among phenomena arbitrary though by the action of the Mind constant. Connexions between them are viewed subjectively as the suggestion or associations of the human mind and objectively as the operation of the Universal Mind. Thus the universe is the sum of human experience and forms a symbol of the divine universal intelligence: esse est percipi" Printing and the Mind of Man. Norman Library 196. PMM 176.
