Eduard von Hartmann (1842 1906) had expected to follow his father's
military career, but an injury forced him to reassess his
ambitions. Torn between music and philosophy, he settled on the
latter and in 1869 published his first book, The Philosophy of the
Unconscious, which proved a great success. Published in 1885 as the
period saw an enormous rise in the popularity of spiritualism, this
work attempts to give psychological explanations for all occult
phenomena, including subjective delusions as well as 'objective'
physical manifestations, without resorting to hypotheses of ghosts,
demons or trickery. C. C. Massey, a leading theosophist and
translator of the work, wrote, 'Now for the first time, a man of
commanding intellectual position has dealt fairly by us as an
opponent.' This work will appeal to anyone with an interest in the
growth of spiritualism and the philosophical and metaphysical
debates of the nineteenth century.
