Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to show the meaning of the central role and the place of the new theory of vision in Berkeley’s philosophy. Apart from its value in explaining the phenomenon of visual perception it is important in bringing God closer to the life of men, which was the aim of Berkeley’s thought. The visual language which is gradually revealed as a part of the new theory of vision influences human seeing and understanding of the world and their organization of moral life.
