Ultimately, this form of idealism offered unacceptably complex explanations of our perceptual experience, at least in the eyes of many philosophers. Rather than simply postulating a mind-independent chair as the cause of my chair ideas (or appearances), for example, Berkeleyan idealists must offer different explanations for each person’s chair-related appearances. When the doctrine was not rejected on the grounds that it led to phenomenalism or solipsism, it was often rejected because it lacked unifying explanatory power.
