Arguments about the non-existence of external objects


Problem: For this week's discussion, I'd like you to share your thoughts in response to Berkeley's claims and arguments about the non-existence of external objects (mind-independent matter). Here are some suggestions for what to write about--but feel free to take a different approach or address a different point in Berkeley's writing: Is the existence of external objects too obvious to need a philosophical argument or defense? What if anything is wrong with Berkeley's "master argument"? Adopting Berkeley's view seems to require that one also believe in God (or at least a supreme mind). Is this too much to ask of non-believers? Are there any reasons to think that Berkeley's view is mistaken? Would Occam's RazorLinks to an external site. favor Berkeley's view or its denial? What connection can you make between Berkeley's ideas and your life experience? How might Berkeley's ideas help you better understand an issue or event in your everyday life? If you've seen the movie, The Matrix, what would Berkeley say to Neo (after Neo has the experience of being extracted from the Matrix)? Need Assignment Help?
