![]() Many of the natural objections to his position. Berkeley uses this thesis as the ground for a new argument for the existence of God, and the dialogue form enables him to raise and respond to ![]() His striking claim there, as here, was that physical things consist of nothing but ideas in minds. The Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous (1713) were designed as a vivid and accessible presentation of the remarkable picture of reality that Berkeley had first presented three years earlier, in his Principles of Human Knowledge. The series aims to build up a definitive corpus of key texts in the Western philosophical tradition, which will form a reliable and enduring resource for students and teachers alike. ![]() Which provide further commentary on the arguments and explain unfamiliar references and terminology, and a full bibliography and index are also included. ![]() Each volume provides a clear, well laid out text together with a comprehensive introduction by a leading specialist, giving the student detailed critical guidance on the intellectual context of the work and the structure and philosophical importance of the main arguments.

It is well read with appropriate intonation and in-keeping with the authors underplaying of the extraordinary events. I would consider this essential reading for all seeking to understand Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade and the realities of slavery in the West Indies. As a primary source it authoritatively reveals the micro and macro pictures. The prose is beautiful, the arguments passionate, clear and gracious. ![]() It reads like a cross between Hornblower and 12 years a slave, giving a personal account of the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade and slavery, the trials of being a freed man, the surprisingly globalised and interconnected trading of the 18th century and by implication Britain’s gain from slavery. This is an incredibly gripping account of one extraordinary man’s life from childhood in west Africa, enslavement, freedom, coming to a personal faith in Jesus and abolitionist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Short time after starting the military service, another soldier is blackmailing Jack to be his plaything.
