An Essay towards a new Theory of Vision

Exploring the nature of perception, this work presents George Berkeley's innovative ideas on vision and the relationship between sight and reality. Berkeley argues against the materialist view, proposing that our understanding of the world is shaped by our sensory experiences. He delves into the philosophical implications of how we perceive objects and their qualities, challenging traditional notions of distance and color. This essay lays the groundwork for later discussions in philosophy, particularly concerning idealism and the nature of existence.
