Excerpt from The Rationale of Spiritualism: A Paper Read Before the Chicago Philosophical Society
The nineteenth century marks the most important epoch in the history of the world. To it will be traced the genesis of a new line of progression. The year 1848, a time of political and social revolution, marks the transition from the artificial to the natural order. It was the year that heard the awakening raps at Hydesville. It was the rap of the spirit Master Mason, laying the corner-stone for a new social structure. Spiritualism puts human nature for the first time on solid ground. It is as broad as life itself. It is all-inclusive. All truths adjust them selves to it naturally. It is a universal solvent.

Excerpt from The Rationale of Spiritualism: A Paper Read Before the Chicago Philosophical Society
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am not unmindful that the subject to which, with your kind indulgence, I shall invite your attention this evening, is one seldom discussed before the elect. In the world at large it frequently forces attention, often with positive rudeness; but wherever opinion is organized, whether religiously, socially or scientifically, it meets with little hospitality, and, when tolerated, it is either with compassionate condescension or undisguised contempt.
I do not allude to this state of things to find fault The rather, so long as the field of human nature remains what it now is - a mere playground for the passions - I would not have it otherwise. I could conceive of nothing more disastrous happening to the race at this time than a universal acceptance of supersensual phenomena. Without adequate preparation and discipline, the end would be a return to superstition.
Only the most superficial treatment has hitherto been accorded what is known under the name of Modern Spiritualism. If its phenomena have an objective veracity, their importance to mankind cannot be over-estimated; and it is from this point of view that the subject should be studied.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rigorous examination of spiritualism, a phenomenon that the author argues will come to define the 19th century as a period of revolutionary change. Spiritualism, the author suggests, emerged as a response to the inadequacy of existing religious structures and the growing influence of materialism. It presents a new mode of perceiving the human condition as well as a novel approach to the relationship between the living and the dead. The author unpacks the challenges and opportunities inherent in spiritualism, examining its profound implications for our understanding of life, death, and the nature of reality itself. Thought-provoking and insightful, this book offers a unique perspective on a transformative era and its enduring legacy on our world.
