Answer
Hylas represents John Locke and opponents of immaterialism in George Berkeley's philosophical dialogues. Through Hylas, Berkeley presents and critiques the arguments against his own idealist philosophy, which posits that reality consists solely of ideas and minds, and that physical objects exist only as perceptions in the mind. By engaging with Hylas' objections and reasoning, Berkeley aims to defend and elucidate his immaterialist perspective.
