ix-3. ""Principles," § 89. Nominalism, a 'substance' theory fully as unacceptable as that of Locke. Early in the Principles this category of substance appears; yet it occurs rather as a foil to the Cartesian substance than as a principle of explanation to which the author attached any positive significance — -a. category nearest at hand to envisage the active principle which, by the extension of its activity, was to supplant passive matter. We have no mediaeval discussion of faculties, no quest...ion is raised as to the relation of a soul substance to a divine spirit substance, nor are we told anything about the attributes of this substance. On the contrary — in speaking of the perception of the qualities of bodies — he says that these qualities are in the mind only as they are per- ceived by it — that is, noi by way of mode or attribute, but only by way of 'idea.' Following the passage just quoted, Berkeley pro- ceeds to draw the conclusion that the soul does not possess 'quali- ties.' Subject, mode, and attribute, of the philosophers are discarded as unintelligible terms; and this he illustrates in the case of a material object.' The paralogism involved in the attempt to explain the self by means of the materialistic category of substance certainly appeared to Berkeley.
