He approaches Berkeley's thought from the standpoint of its roots, rather than from how it has come to be viewed since his time. This book will interest scholars working in a wide variety of fields, from philosophy and the history of ideas to comparative literature, utopian studies, religious and medieval studies, and critical theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis other Berkeley read and wrote alchemical books, daydreamed of \"Happy Islands\" and the \"Earthly Paradise\" and depicted them carefully, designed utopian projects and spent years trying to put them into practice. Bradatan discovers a thinker deeply rooted in Platonic, mystical, and sometimes esoteric traditions, who saw salvation as philosophy and practiced philosophy as a way of life. This book uncovers a richer Berkeley, a more profound and spectacular one, and, it is hoped, a more truthful one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Costica Bradatan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.58h x 6.04w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823226931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCostica Bradatan\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches philosophy at Texas Tech University and is Senior Editor of Janus Head: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature, Continental Philosophy, Phenomenological Psychology, and the Arts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45440026640499,"sku":"9780823226931","price":129.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_8b8a949d-a586-4e99-ad72-1a92c08ae072.jpg?v=1788440509","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-other-bishop-berkeley-an-exercise-in-reenchantment-9780823226931","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
