"The Philosophy Which Shows the Physiology of Mesmerism and Explains the Phenomenon of Clairvoyance" by T. H. Pasley is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the principles of mesmerism, exploring its physiological implications and the concept of clairvoyance. Pasley challenges the established philosophical norms of his time, advocating for a more comprehensive understanding of nature and the physical phenomena associated with mesmerism. The opening of this work introduces the author’s dedication to prominent figures in the field of mesmerism, such as Doctors Elliotson and Esdaile, and outlines his intent to offer a philosophical perspective on mesmeric phenomena. Pasley argues against contemporary scientific doctrines, which he believes inadequately explain mesmerism and clairvoyance. He asserts that the prevailing philosophical models are flawed, suggesting that a true understanding of physical phenomena requires a re-examination of the principles governing motion, pressure, and the properties of matter. This introduction sets the stage for an extensive exploration of these ideas, encouraging readers to reconsider accepted scientific beliefs in favor of a more dynamic and interconnected view of nature.
