Essays on Truth and Reality

""Essays on Truth and Reality"" is a collection of philosophical essays written by F. H. Bradley, a prominent British philosopher of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores various philosophical topics, including the nature of truth, the concept of reality, and the relationship between knowledge and reality. Bradley argues that truth is not a simple correspondence between statements and facts, but rather a complex and multifaceted concept that involves coherence, consistency, and a deeper understanding of the nature of reality. He also explores the idea that reality is not a static and objective entity, but rather a dynamic and subjective experience that is shaped by our perceptions, beliefs, and experiences. Throughout the book, Bradley engages with other prominent philosophers of his time, including Immanuel Kant, G. W. F. Hegel, and John Stuart Mill, and presents his own unique perspective on these philosophical issues. The essays are written in a clear and accessible style, making them suitable for both students and general readers interested in philosophy and the nature of truth and reality.1914.
