What are the proper objects of sight according to Berkeley?

  • Shapes and sizes

  • Light and colour

  • Emotions and feelings

  • Material objects

Answer

The objects of sight are light and color, rather than physical objects. This is because light and color are the only things that can directly affect our sense of vision. Physical objects, on the other hand, are perceived by us only indirectly, through the light that they reflect or emit.
