This volume of collected lectures criticizes naturalism and agnosticism as a basis for understanding the world, opting for an integration of idealism within modern sciences at the turn of the 20th century. The lectures in volume II explore the theory of psychophysical parallelism, the conscious automaton theory, the ideas of Thomas Huxley, Descartes, and Kant, a refutation of dualism, the rise of dualism, the unity of the individual and universal experience, spiritualistic monism, nature as teleological, causality, and more. James Ward (1843-1925) was a professor of mental philosophy and logic at the University of Cambridge. Hardcover, good condition, 294 pages plus publisher’s list, octavo.
