Berkeley's Theory of Vision; A Critical Examination of Bishop Berkeley's Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision

Beschreibung

Slim 8vo. [12], 106, [2] pp. Black cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Honderich 58. Armstrong was a dominant figure in the Australian school of materialism. He was one of the first philosophers to "advocate functionalism as a theory of the mind, and combine it with materialism". Armstrong conducted significant research in metaphysics as well, on the subject of universals and the nature of their existence. Berkeley's Theory of Vision is Armstrong's first published book: a monograph examining the importance of Berkeley's essay on vision. Berkeley's essay was previously dismissed as psychology, or a preface work, but Armstrong's discussion of it illuminates its importance in modern philosophy and in philosophy of mind. A Near Fine book with a faint pencil mark and minor fading to the front flyleaf; dust jacket is price-clipped with a few traces of edge wear. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 00009287
