Synopsis "Passive Obedience, or, the Christian Doctrine of not Resisting the Supreme Power, Proved and Vindicated ... In a Discourse Deliver'd at the College-ch"

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

George Berkeley (Sir George Berkeley) fue un filósofo y obispo angloirlandés del siglo XVIII cuya agudeza intelectual dejó una marca profunda en la filosofía moderna. Pensador provocador y a veces jocoso en sus argumentos, es mejor conocido por su defensa del idealismo subjetivo, la tesis de que los objetos no existen independientemente de ser percibidos. Su estilo combina rigor lógico con una clara propensión a desafiar supuestos cómodos: si no puedes verlo, olerlo o medirlo, ¿cómo sabes que está ahí? Berkeley lo puso en palabras y puso a pensar a generaciones enteras.

Entre sus obras más influyentes están A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge y Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, textos en los que despliega su argumento de que la existencia de las cosas es inseparable de la percepción que tenemos de ellas. Más allá de libros, su pensamiento abrió puentes entre la epistemología y la metafísica, marcando un antes y un después en la reflexión occidental sobre la realidad y la mente.
