Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Illustrations of the Influence of the Mind Upon the Body in Health and Disease: Designed to Elucidate the Action of the Imagination Since the former edition of this work there has been a remarkable increase in the amount of intelligent interest felt in the more subtle relations existing between Mind and Body, and, happily, physicians of acknowledged position have devoted their attention to the study of psychical phenomena too often neglected even by those whose special province it is to determine their nature, and to enlighten the public mind as to what is real on the one hand, and what is either fancy or fraud on the other. The author feels that he cannot too strongly emphasize the position taken by him in this work, namely, that he only aspires to lay down and illustrate certain psycho-physical principles which appear clearly recognizable in the light of modern physiology. It is maintained that the area of these principles ought to be traversed, and their application carried out to their furthest possible limits before we go in quest of others. At the same time, nothing can be more beside the intention of the writer than to deny that wider laws or a larger circle of phenomena than he has hitherto grasped may exist, and may still be discovered. Dogmatic incredulity may betoken ignorance, not knowledge, as in the ease of a countryman I once saw at the British Museum, who, when shown a huge meteoric stone and told it had fallen on the earth from the sky, said he would never believe that In a similar spirit, and from a like cause, we too may "give way to peremptory fits of asseveration," against which Lord Bacon warns us, who cautions us also "not to usurp a kind of dictature in science." There is such a thing as a scientific snob. He it is who is quite that he has fathomed the depth of the great ocean of knowledge, and that he can gauge the spheres with the measure which he carries in his own pocket.
