The works of George Berkeley (1685-1753) have been the object of much philosophical analysis; but philosophers are writers as well as thinkers, and Berkeley was himself positively interested in the functions of language and style. This 1990 book offers rhetorical and literary analyses of his four major philosophical texts.
