George Berkeley's Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous In this paper, we will discuss George Berkeley's Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous. In these dialogues, Berkeley argues that the taste of something, like the sweet taste of sugar and the sour taste of lemon, exist only in the mind of the person tasting the thing in question. We will explain in detail Berkeley's argument for this conclusion. We will explain all the important terms and to use examples to flesh out these ideas. We will then explain how Berkeley might use a similar argument to show that the color of something exists only in the mind of the person looking at the thing in question. We then explain how these views can be reconciled with the intuitively natural idea that physical objects and their observable properties exist independently of anyone's perceiving them.
