Synopsis

Excerpt from Immediate Perception as Held by Reid and Hamilton Considered as a Refutation of the Skepticism of Hume

Berkeley denied the existence of matter and maintained that nothing exists beyond the sphere of the. Spiritual and the Ideal. The current philosophy of. His day based our knowledge of the external and the material upon inference. All that the mind could know directly was certain images or ideas which represented the external object. Some held that the images were distinct from the ego, while others regarded them as modifications of the ego, and it was this latter hypothesis as to the nature of the tertium gwa' which Berkeley accepted. That is, be embraced the View that, in perception, there is present to the mind only its own modifications, the energy of the cognizing agent being exerted at the same instant in representing the Object by a modification of itself and in recognizing it as a thing, an existence, a reality.
