The Sensational Idealism Of Locke, Berkeley, And Hume (1904)

By James MacBride Sterrett

Book Overview

The Sensational Idealism of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume is a scholarly work written by James MacBride Sterrett in 1904. The book discusses the philosophical ideas of three influential thinkers of the 17th and 18th centuries: John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume. Sterrett analyzes their theories of knowledge, perception, and reality, and argues that they all shared a common belief in what he calls ""sensational idealism."" This is the idea that all knowledge and perception is based on sensory experience, and that there is no objective reality beyond our subjective experiences. Sterrett examines each philosopher's ideas in detail, comparing and contrasting them to show how they developed and evolved over time. He also discusses their impact on later philosophers and the broader field of philosophy. The Sensational Idealism of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the ideas of three of the most important philosophers of the modern era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
