Abstract
- This paper considers the alleged pragmatism of Berkeley's philosophy using the two Sellarsian categories of 'manifest' and 'scientific' images of the world and human beings. The 'manifest' image is regarded as a refinement of the ordinary way of conceiving things, and the scientific image is seen as a theoretical picture of the world provided by science. The paper argues that the so-called Berkeleian pragmatism was an effect of Berkeley's work towards a synthesis of 'manifest' and 'scientific' images through the creation of one unified synoptic vision of the world and was a part of a new conceptual framework within which these two images could be combined.
