F.H. Bradley(1846-1924) was a British philosopher
and the leading figure in the movement known as British idealism, which as a reaction against empiricism, formulated an Absolute reality that serves to unify all experience. Strongly influenced by the German idealists Hegel, Fichte and Schelling, Bradley
conferred high status to human reason in the process of comprehending and structuring the Absolute, and sought to eliminate the distinction between thought and object, espousing a theory of coherence and unity of experience. Likewise, he balked at the idea of individualism and, rather, perceived the human agent as inherently socially defined, though still challenged to become her 'best self' as a moral imperative.
We can see in Bradley a potential influence on Stevens, who, despite his loss of a unifying transcendent reality (God), sought through the supreme fiction to restore a fundamental unity to experience, making of the imagination/reality interchange a new kind of coherence, a contingent Absolute, that serves as the adhering medium.
