On Miracles and Modern Spiritualism: Three Essays (Cambridge Library Collection - Science and Religion)

Alfred Russel Wallace

4.9/5 (12721 ratings)

Description:With chapters on apparitions and phantasms. The author presents his belief that spiritual beings can and do communicate with us and produce material effects in the world around us. Those who believe as he does must see in the steady advance of inquiry and of interest in questions of this nature, the assurance that those beliefs will not be accepted by all truth seeking inquirers. The author includes a section as an answer to the arguments of Hume, Lecky and others against miracles.Excerpt:I am well aware that my scientific friends are some what puzzled to account for what they consider to be my delusion, and believe that it has injuriously affected what ever power I may have once possessed of dealing with the philosophy of Natural History. One of them - Mr. Anton Dohrn - has expressed this plainly. I am informed that, in an article entitled Englische Kritiker und Anti Kritiker des Darwinismus, published in 1861, he has put forth the opinion that Spiritualism and Natural Selection are incompatible, and that my divergence from the views of Mr. Darwin arises from my belief in Spiritualism. He also supposes that in accepting the spiritual doctrines I have been to some extent inﬂuenced by clerical and reli gions prejudice. As Mr. Dohrn's views may be those of other scientific friends, I may perhaps be excused for entering into some personal details in reply.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
