George Berkeley is fundamentally linked to the concept of consciousness through his subjective idealism, which posits that only consciousness is real and that material objects are merely systems of conscious perceptions {fact:1, fact:2}. His 'doctrine of ideas' restricts immediate perception to one's own states of consciousness [1], and he maintains that nothing exists unless it is consciously experienced [2], while also distinguishing between consciousness as an object and the self as an active subject [3].
