Appearance and Reality (1893; second edition 1897)[1] is a book by the English philosopher Francis Herbert Bradley, in which the author, influenced by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, argues that most things are appearances and attempts to describe the reality these appearances misrepresent, which Bradley calls the Absolute. It is the main statement of Bradley's metaphysics and is considered his most important book.[2] The work was an early influence on Bertrand Russell, who, however, later rejected Bradley's views.
