 There is, however, at least some hyperbole in such comments. Bosanquet did not follow either Green or Bradley blindly (see Sweet 1996), and there are important differences in his work. While he defended Green’s ethical theory and many of Green’s conclusions, he addressed a number of issues never dealt with in Green’s corpus. Moreover, while it is clear that Bosanquet considered Bradley’s work in metaphysics and ethics to have been momentous, this admiration was no doubt influenced by the fact that Bradley’s philosophy and method reflected interests and an approach that Bosanquet had arrived at quite independently.
