Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous Tri razgovora mezhdu Gilasom i Filonusom. / Translated and with an introductory article by I. S. Narsky. Moscow: State Socio-Economic Publishing House Sotsekgiz 1937. 127 VIII pp. Publisher’s binding standard format. This 1937 edition of George Berkeley’s 1685–1753 seminal philosophical work is a fascinating artifact of Soviet intellectual history. Published by Sotsekgiz at the height of the pre-war period it presents Berkeley's most accessible defense of subjective idealism immaterialism. The "Three Dialogues" originally published in 1713 feature the characters Hylas representing the materialist view and Philonous the "lover of mind" representing Berkeley himself debating the existence of matter independent of perception. Berkeley’s famous maxim esse est percipi to be is to be perceived is the central pillar of these dialogues. In the Soviet context of 1937 Berkeley was often presented through the lens of Marxist-Leninist critique—specifically Lenin's Materialism and Empirio-criticism—as the quintessential philosophical adversary. Consequently this edition includes a substantial introductory article by I. S. Narsky framing Berkeley's philosophy within the historical-materialist discourse of the time. This makes the book not just a philosophical classic but a document of how Western Enlightenment thought was curated and critiqued in the Stalinist era. The translation seeks to maintain the clarity and rhetorical vigor of Berkeley’s original prose which was designed to combat skepticism and atheism. Despite the ideological framing of the preface the text remains a faithful representation of Berkeley's attempt to prove that the "sensible world" is a series of ideas in the mind of God. For historians of philosophy collectors of Soviet academic editions and scholars of 18th-century empiricism this 1937 volume is a significant find. It represents a rare moment where a "reactionary" philosopher’s work was given a standalone high-quality publication to serve as a primary source for students of dialectical materialism.

Very good copy. Former owner's name-stamp Clifford J. Maloney on wrappers. </p> <p>First Edition Offprint Issue. The first published paper on the commercial application of electronic / electromechanical computing in private industry outside of the telephone company. Drawing on material that he would later publish in his famous Giant Brains or Machines that Think 1949 Berkeley described the four large-scale computing machines then in operation-MIT's Differential Analyzer; Harvard's Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator; the Moore School's ENIAC; and Bell Laboratories' Relay Calculator-and discussed the machines' information-processing capabilities and their potential uses in the insurance industry. "It is natural to call these machines mechanical or electronic brains and to speak of them as machinery that thinks. This new machinery is certain to have far-reaching effects in all fields where the handling of information is the bulk of the work. . . . Much of the material in this paper is taken from a forthcoming book on the subject by the present writer and is used by special permission of the publisher" p. 36. </p> <p>Berkeley a seminal figure in the history of modern computing was introduced to computing using punched-card machine methods while working as an actuary at Prudential Insurance. In 1942 he joined the Navy and was assigned to the Harvard Computation Laboratory where he worked with Howard Aiken on the Harvard Mark II. In 1946 Berkeley returned to Prudential where he helped create a prototype premium billing trial for the Harvard Mark I and participated in studies that led to Prudential's purchase of one of the first UNIVAC I computers. He also began working on Giant Brains and in 1947 founded the Association for Computing Machinery. In 1948 he left Prudential to found his own company and in 1951 he began editing and publishing Computers and Automation later renamed Computers and People the first periodical specifically devoted to computing. 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. </p> . unknown
