    Language metaphor and its implications in George Berkeley’s philosophy
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2010) Çetin, İsmail; İlahiyat Fakültesi
    Philosophy since the time of Berkeley has taken many different turns and undergone fluctuations in emphasis, but interest in Berkeley’s thought persists and it is widespread. No contemporary philosopher in any land can afford to bypass him, and many feel compelled to refute him or offer contrasting alternatives if they do not accept his claims. A central feature of Berkeley’s philosophy is his use of a certain metaphor which we can call ‘language metaphor’. This metaphor charecterizes natural world as a language through which God speaks to man, instructing him the ways of caring for himself, enabling him to predict the future, and teaching him how to act. This article aims to investigate ‘language metaphor’ and its implications in Berkeley’s philosophy.
