Appearance Versus Reality - New Essays on Bradley''s Metaphysics

Zusatztext Highly recommended for all interested in early-20th-century philosophy. Klappentext This book collects new studies of the work of F. H. Bradley, a leading British philosopher of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and one of the key figures in the emergence of Anglo-American analytic philosophy. Well-known contributors from Britain, North America, and Australia focus on Bradley's views on truth, knowledge, and reality. These essays contribute to the current re-evaluation of Bradley, showing that his work not only was crucial to the development of twentieth-century philosophy, but illuminates contemporary debates in metaphysics, logic, and epistemology.
