(1987) Essays on the philosophy of George Berkeley, Dordrecht, Springer.
The notion of immediate perception is as crucial and central in Berkeley's philosophy as the kindred notions of direct apprehension or direct awareness are in twentieth century accounts of perception. Unfortunately, Berkeley provided only slightly more light on the best way to understand this important notion than his twentieth century successors did in connection with understanding their related notions. So, if we are to grasp what Berkeley had in mind, some interpretive work is in order; Berkeley's texts, though initially helpful, do not supply all the illumination needed.
