Matter, said the boldest argument in modern philosophy, does not exist: only minds and their ideas. Berkeley's Principles makes the case with disarming clarity, tracing error in the sciences to abstract ideas and grounding reality in perception itself. Short, radical, and never satisfactorily refuted, as generations of exasperated philosophers attest. Try to prove him wrong.
