Bradley’s Monism and the Bifurcation of British Idealism
Résumé
Bertrand Russell has for a long time been credited with operating a philosophical
revolution responsible for the neglect, if not the demise, of British Idealism in the Twentieth
century. As it is neither possible nor desirable to disprove Idealism, the contention should be
rather shifted to his well-contrived effort to redefine the terms of the problems debated by the
Idealists, as well as of Hegel’s influence and of monism. The Russell/ Bradley dispute is of
necessity central in the disrepute of British Idealism, but this fate must also be contextualised to
be better apprehended.
