Berkeley and chemistry in the siris

Luc Peterschmitt

pp. 73-85

Abstract

In this paper, I would like to show how it is possible to understand and comment on Berkeley's Siris. This book is not that difficult nor that obscure. Siris is unusual: Berkeley seems to have or to invent a new philosophical style. However, firstly, it is still philosophy; and, secondly, it is necessary to stress that, unlike his first works, Siris was read everywhere in Europe.
