""Natural Causes And Supernatural Seemings"" by Henry Maudsley is a philosophical exploration of the relationship between the natural and supernatural world. Maudsley, a prominent 19th-century British psychiatrist, argues that the human mind is capable of experiencing and interpreting supernatural phenomena, but that these experiences are ultimately rooted in natural causes. He explores the psychological and physiological factors that contribute to these experiences, as well as the cultural and historical contexts in which they arise. Maudsley's work is a fascinating examination of the complex interplay between science, religion, and human experience, and remains relevant to contemporary discussions of the supernatural and the nature of consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Henry Maudsley (1835-1918) practised psychiatry in London. He developed ideas of heredity derived from Darwin, aiming to 'bring man, both in his physical and mental relations, as much as possible within the scope of scientific enquiry'. Body and Mind contains his 1870 Gulstonian lectures and two earlier articles.

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.
