Abstract
George Berkeley, the next major empiricist after Locke, makes the gap between the external world and our mental images of it central to his philosophy. Berkeley's solution is to say that bodies are simply collections of ideas that exist in the mind. He does not press the question of whether sense perceptions are backed up by anything outside the mind. His way around the problem is to argue that this collection of ideas that we loosely call "things" do in fact exist in the mind of God.
