A series of seven talks
1-F. H. Bradleyby Richard Wollheim Lecturer in Philosophy in the University of London
Many people today are mystified or irritated by contemporary philosophy: they feel that the traditional concerns have been shelved in favour of a trivial enquiry into words. This series is designed to remove such misgivings by showing the real motives and intentions which over the last fifty years have produced the analytical movement. In this first talk Richard Wollheim discusses the last great representative of the metaphysical tradition against which the younger thinkers revolted.
