Berkeley: Ideas Imprinted on the Senses are Real Things
Zitat
„Ideas imprinted on the Senses are real Things, or do really Exist, this we do not deny, but we deny they can subsist without the Minds which perceive them, or that they are Resemblances of any Archetypes Existing without the Mind: Since the very Being of a Sensation or Idea consists in being perceived, and an Idea can be like nothing but an Idea.“ (§90) #Berkeley #ideas #sensation
