The Philosophy Which Shows the Physiology of Mesmerism and Explains the Phenomenon of Clairvoyance

"The Philosophy Which Shows the Physiology of Mesmerism and Explains the Phenomenon of Clairvoyance" by T. H. Pasley is a mid-19th-century scientific exploration into mesmerism and clairvoyance, challenging the scientific ideas of the time and introducing a different approach to understanding nature and physical phenomena. Pasley dedicates his book to notable mesmerism figures like Doctors Elliotson and Esdaile, aiming to provide a philosophical view on mesmeric events. He disagrees with current scientific teachings, which he thinks don't fully explain mesmerism and clairvoyance, and points out perceived flaws in today's philosophical models, suggesting a re-examination of the principles of motion, pressure, and material properties, advocating for readers to rethink accepted scientific beliefs for a more interconnected view of nature.
