George Berkeley |

| Irish philosopher George Berkeley is considered the founder of idealism, the philosophical view that all physical objects are dependent on the mind for their existence. According to Berkeley's early 18th-century writings, an object such as a table exists only if a mind is perceiving it. Hence, objects are ideas. | ||||||
