notable_ideas =Francis Herbert Bradley (
30 January ,1846 –18 September ,1924 ) was aBritish idealist philosopher .Life
He was born at
Clapham ,Surrey ,England (now part of theGreater London area). He was the child of Charles Bradley, an evangelical preacher, and Emma Linton, Charles's second wife. He was educated atCheltenham College andMarlborough College , and at some point in his teens, read some ofKant 'sCritique of Pure Reason . In 1865 he entered the University College, Oxford. In 1870, he was elected to a fellowship at Oxford's Merton College where he remained until his death in 1924. He is buried in Holywell Cemetery in Oxford.During his life, Bradley was one of the most respected philosophers on the
British Isles and was granted honorary degrees many times. He was the first British philosopher to be awarded theOrder of Merit . His fellowship at Merton College did not carry any teaching assignments and thus he was free to continue to write. He was famous for hispluralistic approach tophilosophy . His pluralistic outlook saw a unity transcending divisions betweenlogic ,metaphysics andethics .However, Bradley's philosophical reputation declined greatly after his death. British idealism was practically eliminated by
G.E. Moore andBertrand Russell in the early 1900`s. Bradley was also famously criticised inAlfred Jules Ayer 's logical empiricist work, "Language, Truth and Logic ", for making statements that do not meet the requirements of positivistverification principle , e.g. statements such as "The Absolute enters into, but is itself incapable of, evolution."Philosophy
Bradley rejected the utilitarian and empiricist trends in English philosophy represented by
John Locke ,David Hume , andJohn Stuart Mill . Instead, Bradley was a leading member of thephilosophical movement known asBritish idealism , which was strongly influenced byImmanuel Kant and the German idealists, Johann Fichte, Friedrich Schelling, and G.W.F. Hegel, although Bradley tended to downplay his influences. Bradley's ideas are sometimes compared to those of the Indian philosopherAdi Shankara .One characteristic of Bradley's philosophical approach is his technique of distinguishing ambiguity within language, especially within individual
words . This technique might be seen as anticipatory of later advances in thephilosophy of language .Books and publications
