"Education Is The Kindling Of A Flame,
Not The Filling Of A Vessel"
Perhaps his most important contribution to Western thought is his dialectic method of
inquiry, known as the Socratic method or method of "elenchus", which he largely
applied to the examination of key moral concepts such as the Good and Justice.
It was first described by Plato in the Socratic Dialogues. To solve a problem,
it would be broken down into a series of questions, the answers to which
gradually distill the answer a person would seek. The influence
of this approach is most strongly felt today in the
use of the scientific method, in which
hypothesis is the first stage.

"The Only Thing Necessary For The Triumph Of Evil
Is For Good Men To Do Nothing"
Berkeley's views were represented by Philonous (Greek: 'lover of mind'), while Hylas
(Greek: 'matter') embodies the Irish thinker’s opponents, in particular John Locke.
Berkeley argued against Sir Isaac Newton's doctrine of absolute space, time
and motionin De Motu[3] (on Motion), published 1721. His arguments were a
precursor to the views of Mach and Einstein.[4] In 1732, he published
Alciphron, a Christian apologetic against the free-thinkers,
and in 1734, he published The Analyst, an empiricist
critique of the foundations of infinitesimal calculus,
which was influential in the development
of mathematics.
