Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous (1713)

George Berkeley's Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous is one of the most challenging and beloved classics of modern philosophy. The heart of the work is the dispute between materialism and idealism. This is a critical new presentation of Berkeley's 1734 third edition. It combines an annotated version of Berkeley's complete original text with a substantial critical introduction, chronology of events in Berkeley's life, and annotated Appendices of original sources from thinkers relevant to Berkeley's work.
