The work explores the evidence and arguments supporting modern spiritualism, a movement that emerged in the mid-19th century, advocating for the reality of spiritual phenomena in the context of scientific inquiry. The book aims to address skepticism surrounding spiritualism, asserting that its claims merit serious investigation and engagement from the scientific community. "The opening of the book begins with a preface that sets a tone of scholarly seriousness regarding the subject of modern spiritualism." Wallace introduces the reader to the ongoing conflicts between materialistic science and the phenomena of spiritualism, which are often dismissed as nonsense. He outlines the importance of examining spiritualist claims through meticulous investigation rather than preconceived biases, emphasizing that both established facts and transcendent spiritual realities should be taken into account. The text mentions notable scientists who support spiritualist claims, asserting that genuine inquiry into these phenomena could deepen human understanding of nature and spirituality.
