Abstract

At first sight it seems strange to compare Whitehead and Bradley. They were Englishmen and metaphysicians, and they were born within 15 years of one another. But they seem to belong to different eras, for though Whitehead’s fame as a logician belongs to the early years of this century it was only gradually — long after Bradley’s death — that he came to be regarded as a major metaphysician. And in almost every respect they seem to clash.
