सत्ता ही अनुभव है, होना ही perceived होना है, भले ही अच्छे पुराने बर्कले ने ऐसा कहा हो; लेकिन अधिकांश दार्शनिकों के अनुसार, वे गलत थे। फिर भी, स्पष्ट रूप से, ऐसी चीजें हैं जिनके लिए यह कहावत सच बैठती है। शुरुआत करने के लिए, संवेदनशीलता तो एक मामूली बात है। यदि चेतना के तत्वों—दर्द, गुदगुदी, गर्मी और ठंड के अहसास, रंगों की संवेदी अनुभूतियाँ, ध्वनियाँ, और इसी तरह की अन्य चीज़ें—का कोई अस्तित्व है, तो वह किसी विषय द्वारा अनुभव किए जाने में ही होना चाहिए... ज़ाहिर है, यह दर्शाता है कि ऐसे अनुभव, कम से कम भौतिक दुनिया के संबंध में, केवल एक उप-उत्पाद (एपिफेनोमेनल) हैं।

Esse est percipi, to be is to be perceived, said good old Berkeley; but, according to most philosophers, he was wrong. Yet, obviously, there are things for which the adage holds. Perception, trivially, to begin with. If elements of conscious awareness--pains, tickles, feelings of heat and cold, sensory qualia of colors, sounds, and the like--have any existence, it must consist in their being perceived by a subject.... This shows, of course, that such experiences are epiphenomenal, at least with respect to the physical world.

कुछ कहने और जो कहा गया है उसे समझने के विचारों का पूरा विश्लेषण अनिवार्य रूप से एक ऐसी अवधारणा को शामिल करता है जो, जैसा कि मैं विस्तार से दिखाऊंगा, अनिवार्य रूप से विचार के कार्टेशियन विचार से मेल खाती है।

the full analysis of the notions of saying something and understanding what one said inevitably involves a concept which, as I will show in detail, essentially corresponds to the Cartesian idea of thought.

मन में होना और जाना जाना एक ही बात है: इस दायरे में होना ही अनुभव होना है।

To be in the mind and to be known are the same thing: in this domain esse est percipi.
