Opis

A robust defence of the philosophy of Idealism - the view that all reality is based on Mind - which shows that this is strongly rooted in classical traditions of philosophy.

Recenzje

'Ward presents, in an accessible book aimed at the general public, a revisionary account of God and His place in the universe … Evaluating whether Ward's theodicy is successful or attractive could prompt valuable discussion among students.' Fr. James Dominic Rooney, Religious Studies Review
