Francis Herbert Bradley

Francis Herbert Bradley was a British philosopher known for his work in metaphysics and ethics, but he also examined perception. He argued that our understanding of reality is shaped by our perceptions, which are not merely passive impressions but active ways of relating to the world. For Bradley, perception involves interpreting sensations through a framework of thought and context, suggesting that what we perceive is influenced by our mental and emotional state. He emphasized the unity of experience, where our thoughts and feelings are interconnected, shaping how we perceive and understand reality.
