Locke sees material substance. They disagree about whether the real world consists of material substance or of God and souls. Locke’s mind-and-matter dualism raises the question of how we can ever be sure what the real world is like if we can only know it through experience‚ which is just the representation of qualities in the objects. By turning all matters into ideas‚ Berkeley claims to have solved the problem‚ since the only reality is the one of which we are always in direct experience. However

In a world where so much importance and attention is focused on factors‚ which impinge directly on our day to day existence‚ be it the refugee crisis‚ the European referendum or concerns regarding global food shortages‚ it can be easy to underestimate the importance of Antarctica.

Bernardo et al.‚ 2007). There are three
