Propaedeutic for materialist philosophers
Great intellectual gymnastics
The apogee of British Idealism
Nondualism He seems to have been something of a curmudgeon; at least, he was extremely reclusive and had a reputation for shooting cats. But at some point in his life he must have come to some sort of deep mystical realization. Otherwise he couldn't have written this book, which reads like a Western version of Shankara. This is philosophy in the grand old style, and it's one of the high points of British idealism. Bradley's argument doesn't always hold up in its precise details. He doesn't, for example, think that "relations" are real because (he says) they lead to an infinite regress. But Royce replied to this pretty adequately in an appendix to _The World and the Individual_. He also states firmly (and I think correctly) that there's no conceiving reality apart from experience and there's no duality in experience between subject and object. But support for this claim isn't exactly forthcoming. (Timothy L.S. Sprigge does a much better job with it in _The Vindication of Absolute Idealism_.) But the essential structure of his argument is sound and could be carried through again with a different set of examples (the standard logical paradoxes, say): the world of our ordinary experience turns out upon inspection to be contradictory, so it can't be fully and finally real; what _is_ fully and finally real is a nondual Absolute in which all those apparent contradictions are resolved through that very nonduality. Well, Bradley puts it better than that, of course, and his prose style is very pleasant to read. This work is also excerpted in James W. Allard and Guy Stock's collection of Bradley's _Writings on Logic and Metaphysics_, so if you want to read a shorter version, check that volume out. Anyway, the point is, don't ever let anybody tell you there isn't any nondualistic wisdom here in the West. In a different time and place, Bradley would have been revered as a guru -- a prospect that in all likelihood would have made him cringe, so it's probably just as well. But he's clearly trying to articulate a vision here, and few writers have tackled "rational mysticism" with such philosophical flair. I doubt that Shankara would have shot cats. Fortunately the similarities run deeper than that.

Bradley's polemic against utilitarianism However, hiswork is probably more positive than he gave it credit for. While it isundoubtedly not a full moral philosophy, he at least sketches the outlinesof an ethic of self-fulfillment that does not collapse into eitheramorality or tautology. Utilitarianism has moved on since Bradley's timeand its arguments and doctrines have not stood altogether still. ButBradley's critiques of hedonism and its inability to provide a rule of lifeare still trenchant; his dissection of "duty for duty's sake"should still have the power to make Kantians squirm a bit; and his essay on"My Station and Its Duties" is surely a classic of British moralphilosophy. The meat of Bradley's own positive case, though, is presentedin the final two chapters, on "Ideal Morality" and"Selfishness and Self-Sacrifice." It would be a mistake to regard"My Station and Its Duties" as Bradley's final word on ethics,for he did not thus regard it himself. On the contrary, in his closingchapters he sketches a view of the moral life as a life in which one's"good self" is fulfilled by overcoming one's "bad self"-- the former answering to our "true being" and the latterincapable of being desired for its own sake. And this "good self"is not simply or fully exhausted in our practical obligations. Bradleydid not allow the book to be republished for many years after it had goneout of print, but in later life he did begin to make notes toward areissue. This reissue was published in 1927, some three years afterBradley's death, with the help of H.H. Joachim; this edition, which is theone here made available, incorporates Bradley's rough notes as bracketedadditions. ... Read more |
