"Of all men living, priests are our greatest enemies. If it were possible, they would extinguish the very light of nature, turn the world into a dungeon, and keep mankind forever in chains and darkness."
George Berkeley (1685–1753) was an Irish philosopher and bishop best known for his theory of immaterialism, which holds that material objects have no independent existence outside of perception—summarized in his famous dictum, esse est percipi (to be is to be perceived). Berkeley argued that all qualities are mind-dependent, and that the apparent stability and order of the world exist in the mind of God. His thought remains a cornerstone of modern idealism.
