Appearance And Reality - Francis Herbert Bradley - Bog

Appearance and Reality: A Metaphysical Essay is a philosophical work written by Francis Herbert Bradley and first published in 1893. The book is a study of metaphysics, which is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of reality. Bradley argues that our everyday understanding of reality is flawed, and that there is a fundamental difference between appearance and reality.The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the nature of appearance, and argues that our perception of reality is shaped by our own subjective experiences. Bradley argues that our perception of the world is limited by our own senses, and that we can never know reality as it truly is.The second part of the book explores the nature of reality itself. Bradley argues that reality is not composed of individual things, but rather is a unified whole. He argues that individual things are merely appearances, and that the true nature of reality is something that is beyond our understanding.Throughout the book, Bradley draws on a range of philosophical traditions, including Idealism and Hegelianism. He also engages with the work of other philosophers, including Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill.Overall, Appearance and Reality: A Metaphysical Essay is a complex and challenging work of philosophy that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
