Review
Virginia Quarterly Review : A fascinating study of the effects that the theories of the notorious Viennese physician, Franz Mesmer, had upon social and political thinkers during the two decades preceding the French Revolution. This book is a skillful exploration of the various psychological factors that made mesmerism a widely accepted attitude[The book] will interest literary scholars as well as historians since mesmerism is examined as a phenomenon that bequeathed an attitude that found its expression in the writings of the preromantics and the romantics.
Isis : This is an excellent book and one of singular interest both to the historian of science and to the French historian.
Science : [An] excellent and exemplary study in the history of ideas. Based on a thorough study of manuscripts, pamphlets, and journals, learned in its broad setting and persuasive in its internal logic, supported by richly relevant quotations and reproductions of contemporary engravings, Mesmerism and the End of the Enlightenment in France provides a commendable model for those interested in the way 'true' and 'false' ideas interact and broadly influence behavior.

以往中外学界普遍认为,启蒙运动推动了法国大革命的爆发。然而,近年来有些西方学者开始挑战这种定论。美国学者罗伯特•达恩顿在《拉莫莱特之吻:有关文化史的思考》(华东师范大学出版社2011年版)中介绍说,一些人主张重新评价启蒙运动。例如,彼得•盖依指出,启蒙运动...
评分法国大革命前期的法国,虽然崇尚科学,然而在科学刚刚启蒙之时,社会充斥着大量毁三观的迷信巫术,诸如妇女坐在窗前会怀孕,因为空气中可能含有胚胎的有机分子;法国人相信自己与鬼魂和遥远的星球能够毫无障碍地沟通;大自然为人民服务,为了方便大家吃瓜,大自然把西瓜长...
评分鲜明的大师早期作品色彩。史料宏富多面,信息活泼充盈,梳理精致得当,铺叙绵密递进。事件跌宕起伏,人物派别错综,利益关系复杂,但格局清楚,线索明晰。可贵的是理论节制,或许这是社会学看历史学的感觉,其实本当如此。每一章最后的总结都点到即止,十分精彩。 ...
评分在经典理论家看来,是启蒙运动所宣扬的理性、科学的精神推动了法国民众的觉醒,进而策动了法国大革命,推翻了法国的旧制度。简言之,“启蒙运动为法国大革命提供了思想基础”。但是,《催眠术》 却使我们可以从两个角度反思这一结论。 首先,这样一个启蒙时代就真的那么“理性...
评分抱着想了解下催眠术的想法去看有点失望,现代的催眠术侧重于心理催眠法(暗示),梅斯迈尔的则是生物能方法(生理磁性说)。整本书除了提到梅斯迈尔的催眠理论,还提到了当时那个年代法国科学的发展。以一个现代人的角度去看,很多理论都有着非常大的局限性。这本书的侧重点是...
