Miscellaneous Writings

by F.H. Bradley

F. H. Bradley (1846-1924) is a key transitional figure in the development of twentieth-century Western philosophy. The most important British philosopher of his time, he was strongly influenced by the classical tradition, the idealism of Hegel, the sceptical turn of Hume, and the German psychologists of the Herbartian school. His own influence, in turn, was far-reaching, extending to such diverse figures as Samuel Alexander, Bernard Bosanquet, R. G. Collingwood, John Dewey, T. S. Eliot, Gabriel Marcel, Bertrand Russell, Alfred North Whitehead and Ludwig Wittgenstein.

This new annotated edition gathers a huge selection of Bradley's unpublished remains, together with a large collection of his correspondence with the major thinkers of the time. Most of these writings, including selected notebooks, articles and letters, have never been published before. All the volumes are newly typeset.

F. H. Miscellaneous Writings is a major publishing event and the culmination of over 20 years' scholarship by Professor Keene. The comprehesive new editorial material includes introductions by the editor, thorough annotation and indexing. This important collection will offer not only new insights into Bradley's place in the history of philosophy but also new perspectives on how his works should be read.
