学习，学习

今天在寝室看Harvey Richard Schiffman所著“Sensation and Perception”一书时发现这么一句：

The philosopher George Berkeley (who was also the bishop of Cloyne, Ireland, and whose name has been memorialized by the university town in California), questioned the very existence of an external world, proposing the unusual (by contemporary standards) empiricistic view that the world exists only through perception.

原来著名的UC Berkeley的来历是这样。更多信息可以在Wikipedia上找到，最后一段也提及加大伯克利和他的渊源。
