Yesterday marked the 268th anniversary of the death of Irish Philosopher George Berkeley. Perhaps Ireland's greatest philosopher his work played a pivotal role in the development of western philosophy.

You can read one of Berkeley's primary texts 'A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge' on Cartlann.
