About This Book

The volume gathers early philosophical writings in which the author develops a theory of perception and metaphysics: an essay on vision analyzes how sight and distance are learned through experience; a treatise argues that what we call physical objects are collections of ideas perceived by minds rather than independent material substance, defending the presence of a divine mind to secure continuity; linked dialogues test these positions against sceptical challenges; shorter pieces examine motion and foundational notes. Together the texts present a compact, consistently developed argument about the nature of perception, substance, and the role of mind in constituting reality.
