A clear, informative and insightful guide to Berkeley's most accessible philosophical work- ideal for beginners and advanced students. In his Problems of Philosophy, 1912, Bertrand Russell mentions seven great philosophers, from Plato to Kant, and the texts by them that he recommends for students- one is Berkeley's Three Dialogues. David Berman, Trinity College, Ireland. Storrie's book is clearly written, rich in historical and philosophical context, rooted in Berkeley's writings and structured to give a student reader confidence. In a crowded field of introductory works on Berkeley it stands out by taking into account the recent and rapid developments in Berkeley scholarship, evaluating scholarly disputes judiciously and giving a consistent interpretation without being partisan. I would recommend it to anyone teaching early modern philosophy as the 'if you are only going to read one book about Berkeley, make it this one' text. Tom Stoneham, University of York, UK
