What did Berkeley famously argue against?
Immaterialism
Rationalism
Material substance
Empiricism
Answer
The notion of "material substance" posits that physical objects have an underlying essence beyond our sensory perceptions. However, Berkeley argued against the existence of such an independent material substance, asserting that matter, in essence, cannot exist without the mind perceiving it. He proposed the philosophical principle known as immaterialism, which claims that reality consists solely of minds and their ideas.
