Scepticism and Construction: Bradley’s Sceptical Principle as the Basis of Constructive Philosophy

Originally published in 1931, this book follows the sceptical principles of Bradley to their logical conclusions, pushing them even further than Bradley was willing to go. The argument selected as a starting point is the one used in Note A of the appendix to Appearance and Reality. The author argues for a return to the position of Kant, and opposes the central conception of Absolute Idealism, arguing for a metaphysical scepticism.

Charles A. Campbell (1897-1974) was Professor of Logic and Rhetoric and Dean of Faculties at the University of Glasgow.
