Is Berkeley worth reading?

>> No.8871147

If you want to understand the history of Western philosophy, yes. At least read the Three Dialogues.

>> No.8871285

>>8871131
Yes, but only because his arguments are pretty easy to refute

Kant and Hume were the major sparring partners which makes Berkeley not much better than a punching bag, but at least you wont hurt your hands.

>> No.8877228

Although Kant really does decisively refute Berkeley's immaterialist thesis, I think that Berkeley provides very instructive lessons in philosophy. The Principles and the Dialogues are very good.

Of course, if you don't accept the Kantian framework, then Berkeley's thesis, in my view, still holds fairly strong.
