    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The character of reality as an internally diversified individual system is revealed to us in sentient experience.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Sentient experience is reality, and what is not sentient experience is not real.

    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Neuroscience and cognitive science establish that perceptual systems systematically distort, filter, and construct representations rather than transparently conveying reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If sentient experience is itself a species-relative construction shaped by evolutionary pressures, it cannot serve as a reliable window onto reality's intrinsic diversified structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Bradley's own regress argument shows that relational diversity within experience generates contradictions, undermining coherence of any experiential system as a model of the Absolute.

    But does this ontological argument for idealism exclude epistemology altogether? That is, since appearance always proves to be an inadequate way in which reality is present to us, is it beyond our means ever to become acquainted with the true essence of ultimate reality or can we avoid skepticism and claim that it is indeed possible for us to have access to the constitutive nature of reality? Bradley emphatically endorses the latter possibility. According to him, the self-contradictoriness of wh
