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.

读后感

提到启蒙运动，人们首先想到的关键词大概可以包括法国、十八世纪、理性时代这样的词语，在今天看来，启蒙运动中的精神是被高度赞扬的，尤其是它对于理性的宣扬，使科学的地位被抬高，我们不但可以举出像卢梭这样的哲学家、还有狄德罗、达朗贝尔等百科全书派，更有拉瓦锡这...

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。 ...  

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...

达恩顿似乎有一种“发现有趣的题目并将之写得很平庸”的天赋…唔普通大脑一枚

启蒙时代的科学，用催眠术治疗那块很有趣，缺乏背景知识加上英文水平有限就那样华丽丽的很多地方没看懂~
