Through careful questioning and logical analysis, Berkeley challenges the assumption that matter exists independently of perception, advancing his famous principle that to be is to be perceived (\u003cem\u003eesse est percipi\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten in lucid and accessible prose, the dialogues provide one of the most approachable introductions to early modern philosophy. Berkeley's arguments engage directly with the empiricism of John Locke and anticipate later discussions in metaphysics and epistemology. Frequently studied in courses on philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, the work remains central to debates concerning perception, substance, and the nature of reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50377927983341,"sku":"9781515431756","price":29.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/aMEDisJj-w9781515431756.webp?v=1785620967","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/three-dialogues-between-hylas-and-philonous-a-defense-of-immaterialism-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
