Abstract

In his Treatise concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, George Berkeley offers some arguments in order to criticize the materialist position. My aim in this paper is to expound and analyze in detail these arguments. Given that Berkeley’s criticism to materialism is, at the end, a criticism to John Locke’s representationalism, I will begin this paper explaining which are the core ideas of Locke’s proposal.
