      abstract = {Costica Bradatan proposes a new way of looking at the  influential 18th-century Anglo-Irish empiricist and  idealist philosopher. He approaches Berkeley's thought from  the standpoint of its roots, rather than from how it has  come to be viewed since his time. This book will interest  scholars working in a wide variety of fields, from  philosophy and the history of ideas to comparative  literature, utopian studies, religious and medieval  studies, and critical theory. This other Berkeley read and  wrote alchemical books, daydreamed of "Happy Islands" and  the "Earthly Paradise" and depicted them carefully,  designed utopian projects and spent years trying to put  them into practice. Bradatan discovers a thinker deeply  rooted in Platonic, mystical, and sometimes esoteric  traditions, who saw salvation as philosophy and practiced  philosophy as a way of life. This book uncovers a richer  Berkeley, a more profound and spectacular one, and, it is  hoped, a more truthful one.},
