ESSAY ON: Berkeley's "Three Dialogues Between Hylas And Philonous": Direct Realism

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Throughout most of the First Dialogue of Berkeley's "Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous," Hylas' position has two components: (R) For an ordinary physical object (such as a tree) to really exist is for it to exist external to, and independent of the mind; and (D) We immediately perceive ordinary physical objects. Sometimes this position (R + D) is called Direct Realism, a position which Philonous openly argues against. No additional sources cited.
