modern philosophy george berkeley

2 Pages double spaced on the following prompt:

Berkeley’s philosophical views might seem to leave him open to the charge that he is unable to draw a distinction that persons of common sense do, namely, the distinction between appearance and reality. What is it about Berkeley’s views that seem to leave him susceptible to this criticism? How does Berkeley respond to the criticism that he cannot draw a distinction between illusory sensory experiences (e.g. the stick that appears bent in water) and veridical sensory experiences?

Points of Notice:

Make sure to cite text (from the Principles and/or Three Dialogues)

Keep response structure and points as clear and concise as possible.

I’ve attached some of my notes and a general outline below
