The members and guests of an imagined Paradoxical Society debate materialism, consciousness and the relationship between science and religion. Doctor Stoffkraft presents a physical account of the world, prompting replies that develop the speculative ideas of The Unseen Universe. The result is a philosophical discussion staged through conversations, speeches and exchanges among fictional characters.
Across seven chapters, Stewart and Tait turn questions about matter, life, thought and personal survival into a narrative of argument and counterargument. The book combines technical references, literary quotations and humour as its participants test one another’s assumptions. This separate 1878 sequel preserves its original dialogue and conclusion, followed by the publisher’s contemporary catalogue.
