What is THE QUERIST?

The Querist presents George Berkeley’s 18th century queries, one query at a time.

This site also offers queries from our own 21st century.

These queries raise questions, big and small, from the past and the present.

Although most of the queries are topical and unique to their times, perhaps we can understand how history tends to repeat itself.

Although the text here simply raises questions, answers may be found in the query itself and, perhaps, within the querist.
