The book explores George Berkeley's revolutionary philosophy of immaterialism, encapsulated in his famous dictum "Esse est percipi," which emphasizes that knowledge is limited to sensations and ideas rather than material abstractions. Through the dialogues between characters Philonous and Hylas, representing Berkeley and John Locke, key concepts such as perceptual relativity, the conceivability/master argument, and Berkeley's phenomenalism are examined. This work challenges traditional notions of reality and perception, offering a unique perspective on human knowledge.
