L’évolution animique: Essais de psychologie physiologique suivant le spiritisme

by Gabriel Delanne

About this book

Gabriel Delanne interprets the development of life and mental activity through spiritualist ideas about the soul. He begins with living organisms and animal behavior before considering the relation between physical organization, sensation and consciousness.

The discussion connects memory, instinct and the growth of feeling with Delanne’s account of spiritual evolution. Physiological observations and reports of unusual mental phenomena support his broader philosophical argument. The complete French-language volume preserves its original printed pages and illustrations.
