Ernesto Bozzano considers competing explanations of mediumistic phenomena, starting with reports of two sittings with Eusapia Paladino. Fraud, hallucination, suggestion and the relationship between the medium and the observers form the opening questions.
Successive sections examine unconscious activity, collective psychological explanations, automatic writing and reported evidence of personal identity. Bozzano uses cases and comparisons to develop his argument for the spirit hypothesis. This complete original Italian edition retains the 1903 text, appendices, corrections and ten plates, including reproductions of experimental impressions.
