George Berkeley /ˈbɑːrkli/ (12 March 1685 – 14 January 1753), also known as Bishop Berkeley (Bishop of Cloyne), was an Irish philosopher whose primary achievement was the advancement of a theory he called "immaterialism" (later referred to as "subjective idealism" by others). This theory contends that individuals can only know directly sensations and ideas of objects, not abstractions such as "matter". The theory also contends that ideas are dependent upon being perceived by minds for their very existence, a belief that became immortalized in the dictum, "esse est percipi" ("to be is to be perceived"). He published his chief philosophical work A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge in 1710. Then, because of its poor reception, rewrote it in dialogue form. So Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous, the second main work of Berkeley, appeared in 1713. In this book Berkeley’s views are represented by Philonous, Hylas being an embodiment of the Irish thinker’s opponents, in particular John Locke. In 1734, he published The Analyst, a critique of the foundations of infinitesimalL calculus, which was influential in the development of mathematics.
The Black Abbey of Kilkenny, Ireland, is a Catholic priory of the Dominican Order, dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity. Black Abbey was established in 1225 as one of the first houses of the Dominican Order in Ireland.[1] The name Black Abbey is based on the fact that in England and other countries the Dominicans were often referred to as "Black Friars" on account of the black cappa or cloak which they wear over their white habits.[2] When the priory was founded the 13th century, the town of Kilkenny was divided in two parts by the Bregach River. One part was an Irish town and other was an English town. Dominicans established the priory between those two towns and outside the city walls, because they wished to show their independence from either side.[2] Black Abbey has had a long and interesting history, having seen many reversals of fortune under different governments.
