    In a world increasingly shut in by the iron-clad determinism of Victorian physics, the Society for Psychical Research, founded in 1882, - tasked itself with finding scientific evidence for phenomena science had all but denied. The point was not to refute physical explanation, but to give it pause, turning its attention away from nature's routines toward its more mysterious intervals. Psychical research was a fully academic discipline concerned only with mental (as opposed to supernatural) phenomena, yet its scheme of evidence was of the most extraordinary kind: telepathy, mesmerism, clairvoyance, apparitions, psychokinesis, et. al. Though it concerned itself mainly with establishing the facts, the implications of its data were profound: consciousness was an objective structure of reality. There was also the corresponding inner truth already mined by poets, mystics, psychonauts, and s ance mediums: every individual consciousness maintained some connection to the greater whole. Psychical research managed to take this romantic view of consciousness and affirm it within an empirical theory of academic psychology. The book plots the lives of four leading British intellectuals, all brought to psychical research by questions their own disciplines could not answer: the depth psychologist Frederic Myers, the chemist William Crookes, the physicist Oliver Lodge, and the anthropologist Andrew Lang. They all had exceptionally high profiles in both the scientific and psychical communities, and moral energies that brought them out of academic circles and into the public sphere

    "L'étude des rapports entre sciences humaines, ésotérisme et occultisme irrigue intrinsèquement toutes les disciplines des sciences humaines. Si les historiens, anthropologues et ethnologues ont de longue date investi ces domaines de la culture occidentale, les spécialistes de littérature ont tendance à regarder ces objets avec suspicion, même si ces derniers font intrinsèquement partie de la pensée des auteurs ou de leur bagage culturel. L'ambition de ce Cahier est donc de parcourir cette création littéraire, depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle jusqu'à l'émergence du concept de contre-culture à la fin des années 50. Pour envisager une telle perspective diachronique, l'approche littéraire est indissociable d'une histoire culturelle et des mentalités. C'est pourquoi le Cahier Mondes invisibles a été conçu comme le lieu d'un dialogue interdisciplinaire et transéculaire. Organisé en quatre volets, le Cahier aborde autant de thématiques telles que le spiritisme et les formes occultes et ésotériques qu'il revêt, au XIXe siècle, la tension dialectique entre sciences et para-sciences, les héritages ésotériques, les individualités remarquables du mouvement, ou encore les phénomènes collectifs qui ont alluvionné la création littéraire. Ce volume explore les enjeux intellectuels et culturels des mondes invisibles dans une perspective historique, littéraire et anthropologique. Il réunit une cinquantaine de contributions de spécialistes, de nombreux textes rares, dont une traduction d'un inédit de Conan Doyle, ainsi qu'une vingtaine d'illustrations."--taken from publisher website
