 The main work in this regress is being done by premises (1), (2), and (3). It is thus quite unfortunate that Bradley does not spend time substantiating them. This is especially needed when it comes to his peculiar interpretation of internality of a relation as being grounded in proper parts of qualities. For why not claim that the quality in its entirety can act as part of the ground (the other part being the other quality or qualities) for different internal relations? This would certainly be more in keeping with the contemporary understanding of internality of a relation and it could stop the regress. To this suggestion, Bradley would probably respond by reiterating the unintelligibility of the idea that the very same quality can serve as part of an ontological ground for distinctness from other qualities as well as part of an ontological ground for the unity with other qualities. In response to this, one could challenge Bradley’s reliance on the assumption that relations need to account for difference between qualities, as well as for their unity. In fact, it would be much simpler to claim that, say, whiteness and sweetness are different not because there is a difference-making part in them, but simply because they are, in their entirety, intrinsically different. Intrinsic difference of qualities could be Bradley’s bottom line, a primitive of the theory and it would eliminate the need for relations as difference-makers, thus rejecting premise (2) above.
