George Berkeley was an
Irish
clergyman
who argued that "
Esse est percipi
," or that to
exist
is to be
perceived
. In
A Treatise concerning the Principles of Knowledge
he argued that it is
inconceivable
for a
material
substance
to
exist
independently
of the
thinking being
that
perceives
it. He is one of the (if not the) most famous
idealists
.
