Philosopher George Berkeley was born in Kilkenny on this day in 1685. Berkeley’s most substantial contribution to philosophy was his theory of “immaterialism,” or “subjective idealism.” He combined empiricism (the belief that knowledge comes only from direct sensory experience) with idealism (the belief that reality as we know it is mentally constructed) concluding that material substance does not exist, but our perceptions of it do.
