In "Mrs. Piper & the Society for Psychical Research," Michael Sage intertwines biography and historical analysis to explore the fascinating intersection of mysticism and scientific inquiry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This meticulously researched work narrates the life of medium Mrs. Leonora Piper and her influential role in the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), unveiling the complexities of the era's spiritualist movements alongside the burgeoning skepticism of the scientific community. Sage's lyrical prose and comprehensive examination of primary sources illuminate the tension between belief and empiricism, providing a nuanced understanding of how Piper's abilities challenged the boundaries of the accepted epistemology of her time. Michael Sage, a noted historian of parapsychology and philosophy, draws on his deep interest in the occult sciences and their socio-cultural implications. His academic journey has been marked by a fascination with how individuals like Piper navigated a world on the cusp of modernity, shaped by both the promises of science and the allure of the spiritual. Sage's insights are further enriched by his engagement with historical texts and personal correspondences within the SPR, which lend authenticity to his portrayal of Piper. This compelling account is recommended for scholars and enthusiasts alike who are intrigued by the undercurrents of spiritualism, science, and psychology. Sage'Äôs balanced approach offers a critical yet empathetic perspective that invites readers to reconsider the roles of belief and skepticism in shaping human experience. For those seeking to understand the intricate dynamics of the human psyche and its existential questions, this book provides a vital exploration that resonates with both historical and contemporary debates.
