The goal of this paper is to explore Irish philosopher George Berkeley's Subjective Idealism philosophy, primarily by interpreting his famous philosophical deduction writings. Furthermore, the paper also discusses the legacy of Berkeley's philosophy in terms of its impact on both his contemporary era and modern-day development. Moreover, it is important to point out that compared to the majority of papers submitted, this paper might seem to be "short on references"; nevertheless, this is clearly aware by the author. This is because the author's purpose in writing this paper is to self-interpret Berkeley's philosophy instead of relying too heavily on other scholars' subjective interpretations. However, the overall and broad messages still draw from professional thoughts; therefore, the authenticity and accuracy of the paper remain considerably valid.Downloads
