The Bishop Berkeley (1685 – 1783) famously advanced strange notions about the nature of ideas and existence . . . and proof of the latter on the grounds of the former.
This weekend’s column has nothing to do with that. It is about the Berkeley anti-Milo riots. And free speech taken as “violence” and violence regarded as “free speech.” Which is weirder than Bishop Berkeley’s philosophical idealism, come to think of it.
