喬治·貝克萊（George Berkeley，1685年3月12日—1753年1月14日），出生于愛爾蘭基爾肯尼的一個鄉村紳士家庭，十八世紀的哲學家、近代經驗主義的重要代表之一，開創了主觀唯心主義。并對后世的經驗主義的發展起到了重要影響。為紀念他加州大學的創始校區定名為加州大學伯克利分校（University of California, Berkeley）。
All the choir of heaven and furniture of earth - in a word， all those bodies which compose the frame of the world - have not any subsistence without a mind.
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
It is indeed an opinion strangely prevailing amongst men， that houses， mountains， rivers， and in a word all sensible objects， have an existence， natural or real， distinct from their being perceived by the understanding.
