European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This paper aims to reconstruct two key stages of Richard Wollheim's engagement with the moral psychology of F. H. Bradley—first in his 1959/1969 book on Bradley, and later in his 1993 collection of essays, The Mind and its Depths—and to connect them to Wollheim's own account of a dynamic moral psychology, as detailed in The Thread of Life ...
