GEORGE BERKELEY
ALCIPHRON in focus

The only available separate edition of Berkeleys text, this volume contains the four most important dialogues together with essays and commentaries from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.

Alciphron is Berkeleys most sustained work of philosophical theology. In it, he develops one of the last great philosophical defences of religion as well as a shrewd account of the rise and nature of deism and atheism. It contains Berkeleys final views on meaning and language, some of which (as Antony Flew argues in his essay) anticipate those of Wittgenstein. The essays and commentaries reflect the critical response to Alciphron from the time of its publication in 1732 to the present day, placing the work in critical context, and thus assisting readers to evaluate its theoretical and historical importance. In the introduction, David Berman shows that Alciphron has a closer connection with Berkeleys Immaterialist philosophy than is generally thought.

The volume will interest students of philosophy, particularly those concerned with philosophy of religion and language. It will also appeal to readers interested in religious studies and intellectual history.

David Berman is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin. His publications include A History of Atheism: From Hobbes to Russell (1990) and a number of works on Berkeley. He is editor of the Berkeley Newsletter.

Introduction

David Berman

Background and Publication

Alciphron: or, the Minute Philosopher is George Berkeleys most substantial work in philosophical theology. It was written either largely or entirely in 172931, during his stay in Rhode Island, where he was awaiting funds from the English Parliament for his projected college in Bermuda. The college was to educate and train missionaries, becoming, as he expressed it in his Proposal (1724), a Fountainof Learning and Religion that would purify the ill-manners and irreligion of the American colonies.

Alciphron was originally issued anonymously in two volumes octavo. Its full title reads: Alciphron: or the Minute Philosopher. In Seven Dialogues. Containing An Apology for the Christian Religion, against those who are called Free-thinkers (London, J.Tonson). The first volume contains an Advertisement,

Reception

The response to Alciphron was immediate and lively, although much of it was highly critical and some abusive. Berkeley seems to have taken seriously only two of his critics. The first was an anonymous letter writer in the Daily Postboy of September 1732, to whom Berkeley replied in a pamphlet entitled The Theory of Vision, or Visual Language, shewing the Immediate Presence and Providence of a Deity, Vindicated and Explained, published in January 1733. The pamphlet, although mainly concerned to vindicate the Essay of Vision and the theological proof in Dialogue IV which is based on it, also vindicates and deepens the historical analysis of freethinking in Alciphron. The second and more notable critic was Peter Browne, then Bishop of Cork and formerly Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, when Berkeley was a student and Fellow. It is generally agreed that Browne was one of Berkeleys targets in Dialogue IV.1622, alluded to in section 17 as one of the most profound and speculative divines.
