Please note that Berkeley's sense, "object" is not matter as material thing, but a sense of "objective", "purposiveness" or "objectivity" that are not actually so. The criticism to general term arises this understanding, so we need to evaluate his theory from this perspective, and homework would be more truthful when we highlight these two things "material object" or "approvement for subject", this is why sometimes this topic is used in philosophical beginning course. Locke is approved as pioneer for associationism in cognitive science can embrace Berkeley's view too.
One version of claim against empiricism is this: when Copernicus found discoveries earth is rotating, if empiricists are correct, why we cannot perceive the rotation but it is true that the earth is rotating. We can draw conclusion with role of rationality. The counter claim is this: we begin with the calculation of planet's rotation, we need to observe first. That is perception dependent on, so is possible. Kant's synthetic approach is what is interesting. In cultures, Kant's synthesis is said to be tilted to the role of rationality, I think experience and rationality are collaborative, ultimately we need to approve both.
