"On the 'Cancellation' of Berkeley": Trinity College Dublin has just announced that it is “denaming” the Berkeley Library, one of its main libraries, because George Berkeley was a slave-owner and endorsed views that are recognisably racist. In this essay, Berkeley scholar Peter West explains why he thinks that reactionary or defensive “culture war”-style responses to the decision to rename the library are misguided.
