Is Berkeley worth reading?

If you want to understand the history of Western philosophy, yes. At least read the Three Dialogues.

>Is a philosopher before frege worth reading?
No anon

did u know that berkeley always surrounded himself with people and that one day he was left all alone for like not even one minute and he just like straight up disappeared

>>8871131
Yes, but only because his arguments are pretty easy to refute

Kant and Hume were the major sparring partners which makes Berkeley not much better than a punching bag, but at least you wont hurt your hands.

I Kant say yes.

Although Kant really does decisively refute Berkeley's immaterialist thesis, I think that Berkeley provides very instructive lessons in philosophy. The Principles and the Dialogues are very good.

Of course, if you don't accept the Kantian framework, then Berkeley's thesis, in my view, still holds fairly strong.
