McTaggart in Revue de métaphysique et de morale and Josiah Royce in The Philosophical Review.Шаблон:Sfn The book was an early influence on Bertrand Russell, encouraging him to question contemporary dogmas and beliefs.Шаблон:Sfn Russell recalled that Appearance and Reality had a profound appeal not only to him but to most of his contemporaries, and that the philosopher George Stout had stated that Bradley "had done as much as is humanly possible in ontology."
