<p>Original Reviews of <i>Scepticism and Construction</i>: </p><p>‘[Campbell]…presents a thesis which is simple, though of great philosophical importance, and develops his argument with exceeding clarity, fairness and firmness…’ <b>B.M. Laing</b>, <i>Philosophy Vol 7, Issue 26 (1932)</i></p><p>‘The book as a whole is an excellent example of a sustained serious development of a single thesis. It is admirably thought out and richly elaborated’. <b>E.T. Mitchell</b>, <i>International Journal of Ethics, Vol 44, No. 3 (1934). </i></p>
Originally published in 1931, this book follows the sceptical principles of Bradley to their logical conclusions, pushing them even further than Bradley was willing to go. The argument selected as a starting point is the one used in Note A of the appendix to Appearance and Reality. The author argues for a return to the position of Kant, and opposes the central conception of Absolute Idealism, arguing for a metaphysical scepticism.
