[Bradley] has done as much as humanly possible in ontology- G.F Stout on Appearance and Reality

Perhaps the greatest metaphysical treatise ever written. Spinoza triumphs it in elegance, Leibniz in originality. Alexander and Whitehead are perhaps its greatest challengers, but if a metaphysical masterpiece is to be measured by how probable it is in containing the fewest errors in truly describing the world of all in a comprehensive cosmology , Bradley handily beats them all.

This is exactly what my theories about perception is, but i called mine “premature emotional reaction” , i didn’t even know someone had already thought of this things until i did a research here on Google. i’m an artist(painter) that’s why i came up with my theory about human perception to find out what makes an art effective, cause i wasn’t sure if i would do a detailed painting or or just the feelings or impressions. Thanks

I read this in 1972 and was very much impressed by it. Although Bradley himself calls it an essay, it really contains an almost full-blown system. It’s not only worth reading, it’s a good idea to have a copy for future reference.
