George Berkeley

George Berkeley (1685-1753) was an Anglo-Irish bishop and an empiricist and idealist philosopher. He infamously claimed that no matter exists outside of God and that things only exist outside of our minds and perceptions because God perceives them. This extreme position, although not total scepticism, has drawn much criticism from other philosophers ever since. Berkeley's work continues to be studied for his cutting insights into the nature of philosophical enquiry and his insistence that philosophers not dream up world views that contradict common sense.

Early Life

George Berkeley was born on 12 March 1685 in Kilcrin near Dysert Castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Berkeley studied at Trinity College in Dublin where he received a B.A. degree in 1704. Three years later, Berkeley was made a fellow of the university. He joined the priesthood, being ordained into the Anglican Church in 1709. After a spell in London, Berkeley gradually worked his way up the church hierarchy. He was appointed the Dean of Derry in 1724.

Berkeley visited North America in 1728, staying in Rhode Island for three years. He had hoped to found a Christian college on the island of Bermuda, but when the government withdrew promised funding, this never became a reality. He did give both money and books to Yale University. In 1731, Berkeley returned to London and continued his philosophical enquiries into what exactly constitutes knowledge.

Lyrics:

Juanita came to me last night, and she cried over and over

Oh, daddy, I love you, you know, and I think it's the moonlight

She looked so fine, well she looked alright, and she moaned

Oh, daddy, move over

Oh, baby, you know what I like and I think it's the moonlight

Made in Mexico, schooled in France, oh in lovin' she needed no teachin'

Oh, man, I can say international ways I believe in

Mexican girl, don't leave me alone

I got a heart as big as a stone

And I need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight

Mexican girl, I want you to stay

You know my heart is longing to say

That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called

My mexican girl

Her skin was soft as the velvet sky and her hair it shone in the moonlight

As the music did play, well the night turned to day, I held her tight

Then she looked at me with her dark brown eyes, and she whispered, "Hasta la vista"

Well, I don't know what that means, but it sounded so good so I kissed her

Mexican girl, don't leave me alone

I got a heart as big as a stone

And need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight

Mexican girl, I want you to stay

You know my heart is longing to say

That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called

Songwriter:

My mexican girl, don't leave me alone

I got a heart as big as a stone

And I need you, believe me, to be here and love me tonight

Mexican girl, I want you to stay

You know my heart is longing to say

That as long as I live I will always remember the one that I called

My Mexican girl

So I have some potentially big news, at least in my world: After over a year of desperately longing for something I thought impossible, I am now on the waiting list for a ticket to the Discworld Convention!!!!!*

This happened about this time yesterday, and I still haven’t fully absorbed this information. I have yet to think one complete coherent thought, because my thoughts keep being interrupted by new ones. Last night I was too excited to sleep, and, as you might expect, the lack of sleep isn’t helping matters. And while I’m thrilled by this, I’m also kind of in a state of “oh no, there’s so much to figure out and do and so little time!”, including several sewing projects, especially my scaled up to adult size reproduction of an 18th century pocket in the collections of the V&A, because if I’m going to Birmingham for the convention, I’ll have to go to the V&A.** I’m afraid of getting my hopes up, but 🤞.

Rattle your drawers for me!
