While Locke says that all things are made up of matter, which is a senseless state, Berkeley says that senseless things cannot be perceived, therefore they cannot be made of matter. Ideas are things that are perceived as well, therefore, if material things can be perceived, then they are also ideas.īerkeley sharply disagrees with the ideas of his fellow philosopher, John Locke, when it comes to perceiving objects.
