Synopsis

The Theory of Vision: Or Visual Language, Shewing The Immediate Presence and Providence of a Deity, Vindicated and Explained is a philosophical treatise written by George Berkeley and published in 1733. The book explores the nature of vision and perception, arguing that our ability to see is not a result of physical processes in the eye, but rather is a product of the mind's interpretation of sensory information. Berkeley argues that this interpretation is guided by the providence of a divine being, and that our perception of the world is therefore intimately connected to our understanding of God. The book also explores the relationship between language and perception, arguing that language is a tool for communicating our perceptions to others and that it is therefore crucial for understanding the world around us. Overall, The Theory of Vision is a complex and nuanced exploration of the nature of perception and its relationship to the divine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
