Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epidemic Delusions: A Lecture It seems to be the peculiar mission of modem science to demonstrate the permanency and universality of law; to drive from the universe the very thought of caprice, and to introduce inviolable harmony where was the wildest discord, rudest fancy, and merest fiction. To modem science nothing is more impossible than miracle, nothing more absurd than accident. The rational philosopher recognizes no causes but such as are reducible to law, and all causes are natural and immutable. He discovers the play of law, not only in the motion of a planet and the falling of an apple, but in the prevalence of a crime and the rise of a religion. All things have causes all are in their turn causes, and governed by perfect and consistent law. The thoughts we think, the emotions we feel, and the acts we perform, are links in a chain no effort can break, and that will endure when we shall have crumbled into dust; and in our graves we shall still be governed by a law we obeyed before the cradle of infancy received us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Epidemic Delusions: A Lecture In vain the student of nature explained the fam ine, the astronomer the eclipse, and the general the defeat. Men would have miracles, and when they could not 'find them they invented them. But science, who touched the fables of the past, and they vanished like empty vapor, who laid her finger on the miracles of the mediaeval world, and they faded away like summer clouds in a twilight sky, is at work in this age, and many are the dreams she is dispelling, and many the visions she is dissolving.

Book Synopsis A History of Delusions by : Victoria Shepherd
Download or read book A History of Delusions written by Victoria Shepherd and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Fascinating and compassionate’ Horatio Clare The King of France – thinking he was made of glass – was terrified he might shatter…and he wasn’t alone. After the Emperor met his end at Waterloo, an epidemic of Napoleons piled into France’s asylums. Throughout the nineteenth century, dozens of middle-aged women tried to convince their physicians that they were, in fact, dead. For centuries we’ve dismissed delusions as something for doctors to sort out behind locked doors. But delusions are more than just bizarre quirks – they hold the key to collective anxieties and traumas. In this groundbreaking history, Victoria Shepherd uncovers stories of delusions from medieval times to the present day and implores us to identify reason in apparent madness.

Book Synopsis A Colorful History of Popular Delusions by : Robert E. Bartholomew
Download or read book A Colorful History of Popular Delusions written by Robert E. Bartholomew and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eclectic history of unusual crowd behavior describes a rich assortment of mass phenomena ranging from the amusing and quirky to the shocking and deplorable. What do fads, crazes, manias, urban legends, moral panics, riots, stampedes, and other mass expressions of emotion have in common? By creating a typology of such behavior, past and present, the authors show how common extraordinary group reactions to fear or excitement are. And they offer insights into how these sometimes dangerous mob responses can be avoided. We may not be surprised to read about the peculiarities of the European Middle Ages, when superstition was commonplace: like the meowing nuns of France, "tarantism" (a dancing mania) in Italy, or the malicious anti-Semitic poison-well scares. But similar phenomena show up in our own era. Examples include the social-networking hysteria of 2012, which resulted in uncontrollable twitching by teenage girls in Leroy, NY; the "phantom bus terrorist" of 2004 in Vancouver, Canada; and the itching outbreak of 2000 in South Africa. Vivid, detailed, and thoroughly researched, this is a fascinating overview of collective human behavior in its many unusual forms.
