Fra immanenza e trascendenza: una contraddizione?

Il rapporto pensiero-realtà nella metafisica di F. H. Bradley

Abstract

In Appearance and Reality (1893), F. H. Bradley held that reality is both immanent to thought (as a known object) and transcendent to it (as non-relational in structure). This cohabitation of intellectualism and anti-intellectualism in his metaphysics was relevantly attacked by J. Dewey (1907) as being self-contradictory. The goal of my essay is to defend Bradley against this charge by elucidating the structure of the thought-reality relationship and the proper status of contradiction.
