Bradley, Francis Herbert

Born Jan. 30, 1846, in Clapham; died Sept. 18, 1924, in Oxford. English idealistic philosopher and leader of English neo-Hegelianism.

Bradley was a graduate of Oxford University. His “absolute idealism” was an attempt to combine Hume’s skepticism with Hegel’s idealism and certain concepts of Kantian transcendentalism. Eliminating the concept of development from the Hegelian dialectical method and using formalistic logical principles as a point of departure, Bradley expressed his view of the dialectic as proof of the contradictoriness of the scientific understanding of the world in the work Appearance and Reality (1893; 2nd ed., 1969). He viewed the dialectical method as a means of breaking down sensory data to attain true “supraempirical” reality, which has a divine character.
