Our Hidden Forces: An Experimental Study of the Psychic Sciences

by Émile Boirac

About this book

Émile Boirac examines phenomena he places within the psychic sciences, discussing the methods and categories through which he believed they could be investigated. The work connects observations of unusual experiences with a wider account of psychological inquiry.

The book considers questions of sensitivity, influence and perception, bringing reports and experiments into a proposed framework for study. Its approach reflects an attempt to organize subjects that did not fit comfortably within the established boundaries of psychology.

This English edition was translated and edited by W. de Kerlor and published in 1917. The original scanned pages and illustrations are preserved, allowing readers to follow both the presentation of the material and the terminology used in the historical work.
