Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous (1906)
by George Berkeley, edited by Thomas Joseph McCormack

Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous is a book written in by George Berkeley in 1713. The most important concepts in the Three Dialogues are: perceptual relativity, the conceivability ("master") argument and Berkeley's phenomenalism. The perceptual relativity argument is that different objects can appear to have different characteristics (e.g. shape) depending on the observer's perspective. Since objective features of objects cannot change without an inherent change in the object itself, then shape must not be an objective feature."Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous," in Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
