Strutz with his small bookplate to the front pastedown. George Berkeley 1685 - 1753 was an Anglo-Irish philosopher and clergyman who advocated the view that objects cannot exist without being perceived. He wrote Three Dialogues in order to expand on the ideas expressed in his most notable work A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge. Passive Obedience is a call to obey established authorities God above all. That a third edition was published just one year after the first is testament to the intensity of Enlightenment debates about the relationships between individuals and church and state.

"The principle which underlay all Berkeley's philosophical writing was based on a rejection of all speculation such as Locke's about the meaning and necessity of matter as a primal necessity to any theory of human understanding. Briefly Berkeley maintained that no existence is conceivable or possible which is not conscious spirit or the ideas of which such a spirit is conscious. This presupposes complete equation of subject and object: no object can exist without a Mind to conceive it. Without the pre-existence of the Mind mater and substance cause and effect can have no meaning. In the Principles externality absolutely independent of all mind is shown to be an unreal impossible conception: true substance is the conscious spirit and true causality the free action of such a spirit. Physical substance and causes are relations among phenomena arbitrary though by the action of the Mind constant. Connexions between them are viewed subjectively as the suggestion or associations of the human mind and objectively as the operation of the Universal Mind. Thus the universe is the sum of human experience and forms a symbol of the divine universal intelligence: esse est percipi" Printing and the Mind of Man. Norman Library 196. PMM 176.
