Berkeley's Common Sense and Science
Original language description
The topic of Berkeley and common sense is challenging: for someone who claims that matter does not exist to write a whole book (Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous) on how his system agrees with common sense seems audacious at least, but once weunderstand why he felt so confident that his immaterialism is not an affront to the plain man, we will get a better insight into the metaphysical system itself. The solution involves a more prominent role for science in immaterialism, which justifies themore revisionist aspects of the overall philosophy, together with a new role of common sense in philosophy. Traditionally, common sense was taken to include the belief that external objects exist. Once we get rid of this philosophical travesty of the plain man's beliefs identifying dualistic metaphysics with common sense, we will be able to appreciate the seminal importance of immaterialism and its 20th century analogies in the works of J. L. Austin, Wittgenstein and others.
