"I have no idea"? Hilarious.
I at least know the first part of this. In the Introduction, Berkeley argues against abstract ideas (with Locke as the target). In the rest of it, he argues against the existence of matter (mind-independent material substance). He thinks the only things that exist are (i) minds (God and all of us), and (ii) ideas (image-like mental items). So ordinary things are real, it's just that they're collections of ideas, and hence they don't exist independently of minds. He spends a good deal of the Principles answering objections to his view.

A very difficult read by Bishop Berkely.

either way, if you use it or not you still loose it.
