Berkeley and Proof in Geometry
Berkeley in his Introduction to the Principles of Human knowledge uses geometrical examples to illustrate a way of generating "universal ideas," which allegedly account for the existence of general terms. In doing proofs we might, for example, selectively attend to the triangular shape of a diagram. Presumably what we prove using just that property applies to all triangles.I contend, rather, that given Berkeley's view of extension, no Euclidean t…
