The following are argument analysis of arguments that mainly comprises the “Three dialogues between Hylas and Philonous” and “Treatise concerning the principle of Human Knowledge” both written by George Berkley , who is an Irish philosopher and coined the philosophical concept called “immaterialism” which denies that materials exist in the world and are the fundamental building blocks of reality , indeed it says that it is the ideas which really exist in the minds of the perceivers and exists as the building blocks of the reality.

P20: “Ideas are manifestly passive, it has no power inherent.”
A20:” Ideas themselves cannot have any traits , they are solely depend on mind.”
C20: Therefore ideas are inactive and do not possess any casual power.
Arguments against objections:

P21: “ideas are involuntary whether you wish to perceive them or not , they emerges
