The Bishop’s Church: Berkeley’s Master Argument and the Paradox of Knowability
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: We can find in the passages that set out the Master Argument a precursor to the paradox of knowability. That paradox shows that if all truths are knowable, all truths are known. Similarly, Berkeley might be read as proposing that if all sensible objects are (distinctly) conceivable, then all sensible objects are conceived.
