  James Bradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 Bradley Nowell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bradley James Nowell (commonly known as Brad Nowell) (February 22, 1968 – May 25, 1996), was an influential ska musician, who served as lead singer and guitarist of rock band Sublime.
Bradley's early departure from college is perhaps ironic because after the establishment of his music career the college audiences of southern California became the first audience to embrace his music.
The widow Nowell said that Bradley Nowell had wanted to be a father, reconnect with his family, to have a band that achieved "glory", and record a wonderful album [4].

In 1725, Bradley set about trying to measure stellar parallax, a tiny shift in the position of a star when the earth is at opposite ends of its orbit around the sun.
In concept this was not dissimilar to somebody looking at one of his or her fingers, first with the left eye and then the right, the difference being that the nearest star is so distant that the shift is minute in scale.
Bradley realised that the angle at which he tilted his telescope gave him a ratio between the speed at which the light travelled to the earth, and the speed at which the earth moved around the sun.

 Francis Herbert Bradley
Bradley's highly wrought prose and his confidence in the metaphysician's right to adjudicate on the ultimate truth began to seem alien to a later generation of philosophers reared on a mixture of plain talk and formalization and encouraged to defer to mathematics and empirical science.
Bradley's views were inspired by his reading of German biblical critics, and such views have been prominent since in religious studies, where a reluctance to take at face value testimony of the occurrence of miracles which violate the laws of nature is appropriate.
Bradley's answer is that we cannot understand this in detail, but can get some grasp on what he means by considering a pre-conceptual state of immediate experience in which there are differences but no separations, a state from which our familiar, cognitive, adult human consciousness arises by imposing conceptual distinctions upon the differences.

 William James
James discusses the experiments that his contemporaries Wundt, Stumpf and Fechner were performing in their laboratories, which led them to results such as that "sounds are less delicately discriminated in intensity than lights" (PP 513).
James maintains that this thought is a natural human response to the universe, independent of any proof that God exists, and he predicts that God will be the "centre of gravity of all attempts to solve the riddle of life" (WB, 116).
James sets out a central distinction of the book in early chapters on "The Religion of Healthy-Mindedness" and "The Sick Soul." The healthy-minded religious person — Walt Whitman is one of James's main examples — has a deep sense of "the goodness of life," (79) and a soul of "sky-blue tint" (80).
