James Ward (1843 1925) was Professor of Mental Philosophy and Logic
at the University of Cambridge. First published in 1899, this
two-volume work consists of his Gifford Lectures, delivered between
1896 and 1898, in which he criticises Naturalism (the belief that
all phenomena are governed by the laws of science, and that the
supernatural cannot exist), and Agnosticism (the belief that the
existence of spiritual phenomena cannot be proved or disproved), in
favour of Idealism, in which spiritual and non-material phenomena
are central to human experience. The lectures in Volume 2 oppose
dualist defences of the Mechanical Theory, which claim that the
mind is distinct from physical objects. Ward ultimately argues for
a monistic Idealist view, in which consciousness and the physical
world are inseparable. He also claims that because Naturalism is so
easily refuted, it actually promotes Idealism, in an argument that
continues to evoke philosophical debate.
