A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (commonly called Treatise when referring to Berkeley's works) is a 1710 work, in English, by Irish Empiricist philosopher George Berkeley. This book largely seeks to refute the claims made by Berkeley's contemporary John Locke about the nature of human perception. Whilst, like all the Empiricist philosophers, both Locke and Berkeley agreed that we are having experiences, regardless of whether material objects exist, Berkeley sought to prove that the outside world (the world which causes the ideas one has within one's mind) is also composed solely of ideas. Berkeley did this by suggesting that "Ideas can only resemble Ideas" - the mental ideas that we possess can only resemble other ideas (not material objects) and thus the external world consists not of physical form, but rather of ideas. This world is (or, at least, was) given logic and regularity by some other force, which Berkeley concludes is God. ( Wikipedia)

  IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
  Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Many thanks Erin for agreeing to PL.
Will probably not start on this straight away, will get a bit more of sestinas done first.
Cheers

I'll set this up for you. Back in a few minutes.

[Lynnet]

All set. I'd suggest shortening the file name.
Let me know if you need anything else.

How about just "principlesofhumanknowledge"?

It can be (almost) anything you want but shorter is better and it needs to be identifying. Your suggestions sounds good.

Section 00 is PL OK.

If the subsequent sections are longer, I believe that there is now the option to leave only 5 seconds on the ends of files, including files in excess of 30 minutes. Whatever you prefer is fine, but I think some readers were averse to the longer silence.

It is more a case of it not being necessary to be longer... older players would cut off the end of tracks, but modern players don't; and as we haven't had any complaints since changing the policy, we are assuming everyone is OK with it (although we're aware that listeners in many countries don't have access to the latest technology).

[Newgatenovelist]

Ah, that was the reason. Thank you for that explanation!

Have gone the way of leaving 10 sec at the end.
BTW this seemed to upload very fast - hope it worked OK.

[Newgatenovelist]

Section 1 is PL OK.

The ten seconds at the end is fine. I prefer that, though that's probably because I've had some ropey mp3 players in my time.
