Berkeley: Idea

„Moreover it is evident, that no Idea which is not it self perceiv’d, can be to me the means of perceiving any other Idea. If I do not perceive the Redness or Paleness of a Man’s Face themselves, it is impossible I shou’d perceive by them the Passions which are in his Mind.“ (no. X) #Berkeley #idea
