非物質論と常識 : バークリが擁護しようとした、知覚対象に関するわれわれの常識的信念は何か？

Abstract

As is common knowledge among Berkeley scholars, there is doubt as to whether Berkeley's Immaterialism is compatible with our commonsense concerning the objects of perception. Various commentators have shown much interest in the problem of reconciliation between Berkeley's Immaterialism and our commonsensical beliefs especially concerning (1): reality, (2): continuity, (3): publicity of the objects of perception, and (4): our perceptual immediacy to the objects. In this paper, I first examine how Immaterialism could be accommodated to those beliefs respectively, and then purpose to clarify which of our aforesaid commonsensical beliefs Berkeley especially intended to support through his philosophy of Immaterialism.
