Theodore Flournoy

    Théodore Flournoy bol profesor psychológie, ktorý sa venoval záhadným oblastiam parapsychológie a spiritualizmu. Preslávil sa svojou podrobnou štúdiou média Helen Smith, prostredníctvom ktorej skúmal javy ako spomienky na minulé životy a podvedomá myseľ. Flournoy interpretoval jej výplody ako prejavy kryptamnézie a imaginácie podvedomia, čím odmietol spiritualistické hypotézy. Jeho práce poukazovali na psychologické vysvetlenia mediálnych schopností, ako je sugescia a telepatia z podvedomia.

Théodore Flournoy offers a psychological interpretation of her fantasies, highlighting the unconscious mind's creative and mythopoetic abilities. The introduction by Soriu Shamdasani contextualizes Flournoy's work within the cultural and intellectual milieu of the time, noting its influence on key figures in psychology like Freud and Jung.
