Georege Berkely’s Irish Patriotism between 1734 and 1753
Abstract
The article provides an analysis of the works written by George Berkeley when he was a bishop of Cloyne in Ireland between 1734 and 1753. The analysis is conducted in the context of the Irish Protestant patriotism of the first half of the 18th century, the characteristic of which is provided in the first part of the article. The second part is devoted to Berkeley’s engagement in improving life of the society in Ireland in different aspects, i.e. religious, economic, and socio–political. The result of the analysis is an interpretation of the meaning of Berkeley’s Irish patriotism based on the concept of aiming at the good of the whole. Its reference differed for Berkeley in the particular moments of the contemporary history of Ireland. In theory it meant mankind as such. Practically, it referred to the Church of England, the territory of Ireland, or the British Empire.
