Berkeley's demonstration of God is not philosophically the most important part of his Principles of Human Knowledge. But a close understanding of this demonstration helps one realize just how clearly Berkeley saw, or was willing to see, the logical consequences of those tenets of the Principles which have proven important in the course of philosophy. A step by step analysis of the proof also discloses how much of his philosophical and religious heritage, some of it inimical to his tenets, Berkeley carried into this revolutionary document.
