Super Short Summary

Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous by George Berkeley is a 1713 text where two characters, Hylas and Philonous, debate materialism and idealism through a series of conversations. Hylas supports materialism, the belief that matter exists independently of perception, while Philonous, echoing Berkeley's views, champions idealism, contending that only minds and ideas exist. Through logical arguments and thought experiments, Philonous challenges and ultimately undermines Hylas's materialist perspective.
