Bradley : Francis Herbert (1846-1924), English philosopher of the Idealist school which based its doctrines on Hegel.
... Poetry's Sake. Bradley writes: "When poetry answers to its idea and is purely or almost purely poetic, we find the identity of form and content; and the degree of purity attained may be tested by the degree in which we feel it hopeless to convey the effect of a poem or passage in any form but its own. Where the notion of doing so is simply ludicrous, you have quintessential poetry." Bradley also remarks... his final one— A thing of beauty is a joy for ever are hardly distinguishable in idea. Bradley would see not only in the verbal music but also in the meaning musicalised just a difference which is crucial and renders the latter version, unlike the former, electric with inspiration. I agree with Bradley and, before we go further, I shall try to mark all the differences. Page 339 ...
... this insufficiency is remedied for the supramental sees even the multiplicity in the terms of unity. Sri Aurobindo is thus an idealist. But he is not an idealist in the mould of Bradley and Sri Sankara. Bradley (as also Sri Sankara) holds that a relation between two terms must be related to them by a second relation, and so ad infinitum, and the impossibility of this infinite process is one reason... holds merely between propositions but one that is also exemplified in the real world, for example in such phenomena as the polarity of magnetism, the antithesis between inorganic 21.

... mental terms to those who still live in the mental intelligence. This, you will see, answers your point about the Western thinkers, Bradley and others, who have arrived through intellectual thinking at the idea of an "Other beyond Thought" or have even, like Bradley, tried to express their conclusions about it in terms that recall some of the expressions in the Arya . The idea in Page 352 ... beyond the intellectual levels, the passage from the outer being to the inmost Self, which has been lost by the over-intellectuality of the mind of Europe. In the extracts you have sent me from Bradley and Joachim, it is still the intellect thinking about what is beyond itself and coming to an intellectual, a reasoned speculative conclusion about it. It is not dynamic for the change which it attempts ...

... does not presuppose a point of view. But the logic of this enquiry is not free of ontology. A logic without a formulated ontological content is either formal logic or it is, to use the words of Bradley, "a monster and a fiction". Logic always functions within the matrix of ontology. We may say that logic functions within the framework either of an ontological commitment or of a pure ontological... relentlessly develop its starting point dialectically till it grows into the comprehension of the all-embracing and timeless Absolute. In the Absolute thought at last comes to rest and, according to Bradley, also commits suicide. Is it conceivable that the abstract laws of thought have the potency to generate a comprehensive and coherent system in which the totality of existence... If by realwe mean the Ultimate then since God is the Ultimate and, being perfect, is not in time, it follows that Time is not ultimate. No further dialectical and tortuous arguments such as Bradley tries to provide, are required. We do not have to show that thought about Time logically drives us to the Timeless, but only that Reality being timeless, Time is necessarily no more appearance ...
... scattered throughout the work. What is striking about his study of Wordsworth's poetry is that he nowhere slavishly echoes the views expressed by such great Wordsworth critics as Matthew Arnold, A.C. Bradley, Herbert Read, F. R. Leavis and Cleanth Brooks. To Sethna, Wordsworth is undoubtedly the central figure in the Romantic Movement in England, Even Coleridge's claim to this honour is... Independence and Liberty" portraying Wordsworth as a patriotic sonneteer. Stressing the value of Wordsworth's philosophical poetry and the need to restore the visionary Wordsworth, A.C. Bradley in his very illuminating piece on Wordsworth argued that Arnold, in his overenthusiasm to make Wordsworth popular, represented his poetry as much more simple and unambitious than it really was... was and as much more easily apprehended than it ever could be. Dismissing Arnold's categorical statement that Wordsworth's poetry is the reality, while his philosophy is the illusion, Bradley demonstrated the Wordsworthianness of his philosophical poems in which philosophy comes as felt thought in the proper emotional context. F.R. Leavis, on the contrary, claimed that any attempt ...
... ontology 4 and this was further developed by Bradley (1846-1924) in his book, Appearance and Reality. Although empiricism has not succeeded in restoring certainty to knowledge, it has made some acute attempts to develop criteria for various degrees of probability of knowledge. Empiricism is also a kind of rationalism, although it rejects Hegelian or Bradley an rationalism which has its foundations in ...
... KRISHNA PREM (RONALD NIXON) TO MR. KOSKE AND A COMMENT BY K. D. SETHNA The Letter September 1946 Dear Mr. Koske, "Whom should I believe?" You can cut Bradley, Bergson, Hegel, etc., out of the list as admittedly their views are mere speculations. They do not even claim to have reached the other shore. How, then, will they guide us? It is useless to reach... system of philosophy? A system may not give every colour and contour of truth, yet it can be accurate in general outline and general proportion. Of course, as Krishna Prem writes, mere speculators like Bradley, Bergson, Hegel, etc., can never give us the ultimate philosophy. Only those who philosophise through but not with the intellect can be said to be in the running, since they speak out of a light ...
... a year and in the course of his research had attended some of the talks of Wittgenstein. He got to know R.G. Bosanquet, a nephew of the well-known Bernard Bosanquet who had ranked next to F.H. Bradley as the best and most original English exponent of the metaphysical world-view designated "Absolute Idealism". My brother spoke to the young man of Sri Aurobindo and his Ashram of Integral Yoga at ...
... "amor intellectualis Dei" is, outside the Catholic Church, also hailed as such; and even Kant I have found looked upon in the same light. In our own day it is common, I believe, to refer to Bergson or Bradley as mystical. Regarded, looked upon by whom? It was not so in my time at least in Europe. Plato was never called a mystic then; Hegel was regarded as a transcendentalist but no mystic; if you ...

Fichte, Schopenhauer, Bergson, Bradley, William James are the ones that strike me at the moment.

... object is consciousness turned outside or going abroad. This is pre-eminently the Upanishadic position. In Europe, Kant holds a key position in this line: and on the whole, idealists from Plato to Bradley and Bosanquet can be said more or less to belong to this category. The second intermediate position views the subject as imbedded into the object, not the object into the subject as in the first one: ...
