Synopsis

Unearth a pivotal, little-known chapter in the history of idealism. This edition surveys Arthur Collier’s Clavis Universalis, a compact 18th‑century work that influenced later debates about the external world and perception. It traces how the book circulated, drew attention from scholars in Britain and Germany, and shaped discussions alongside later metaphysical tracts.

The description covers the book’s reception, the people who helped revive interest, and the way Collier’s ideas were read through later abstracts and translations. It also situates Collier among his contemporaries and explains why his Visions of a universal key remain a touchstone for discussions of mind, reality, and the limits of perception.

• Origins, editions, and the revival of interest over two centuries


• Core arguments about external existence, perception, and the nature of matter


• Connections to Berkeley and other philosophers, plus historical translations


• Context within a broader history of metaphysical thought

Ideal for readers curious about the roots of idealism, the history of philosophy of mind, and the archival trail of 18th‑century thought.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
