First published in 1886, this comprehensive analysis of
nineteenth-century spiritual experiments questions our long
tradition of encounters with the supernatural, and why it appeared
to have declined in influence in the writer's era. Maudsley (1835
1918), a medical psychologist and pioneer psychiatrist, sets out to
bring such alleged spiritual phenomena under scientific
investigation. Emphasising the natural defects and errors of human
observation and reasoning, as well as the prolific activity of the
imagination, this inquiry into the causes of belief in the
supernatural suggests that much of it can be explained though
hallucination, mania, and delusion. The book is divided into three
parts: the first section concentrates on the causes of fallacies in
the sound mind, while the second considers unsound mental action.
The focus of part three is theopneusticism, or the attainment of
supernatural knowledge by divine inspiration. This second edition
appeared in 1887.
