More about the book
Focusing on the intersection of medicine and belief, this Victorian-era text presents a series of lectures that critically examine spiritualism through a scientific lens. Drawing on historical and scientific evidence, the author argues against the prevalent 'epidemic delusions' of the time, offering a rational perspective on the phenomena associated with spiritualism. This work not only reflects the medical discourse of the 19th century but also serves as a commentary on the cultural tensions between science and spirituality.
