My PhD critically examines Keith Ward’s Personal Idealism versus Scientism on mind and free will, arguing Personal Idealism’s emphasis on mind’s agency and ontological primacy offers a coherent understanding of consciousness, self-identity, and meaning. Supported by Swinburne’s philosophy, it contributes to debates in science, religion, and ethics.
