Science Vs. Modern Spiritualism V2 - Agenor De Gasparin - Bog

Science Vs. Modern Spiritualism V2: A Treatise On Turning Tables, The Supernatural In General, And Spirits (1856) is a book written by Agenor De Gasparin. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of spiritualism and its claims to communicate with the dead. It is a continuation of the first volume of the same title, published in 1855. The author was a French scientist and politician who was interested in the paranormal and the occult. In this book, De Gasparin argues that the claims of spiritualists are not supported by scientific evidence and that the supposed communication with spirits is either a fraud or a self-deception. He examines the practice of turning tables, a popular method used by spiritualists to communicate with spirits, and shows that it is a result of unconscious muscular movements. He also discusses the general concept of the supernatural and its relation to science. The book is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the debates surrounding spiritualism in the 19th century. It is written in a clear and concise style and is accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in the history of science and the paranormal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
