Philosophy On Mysticism by Carl Du Prel translated to English by C.C. Massey
Publication: 1889 George Redway; London
A scarce work whose translation was dedicated to the great mystic Anna Kingsford. The author Carl Du Prel,was a prominent German theorist of an individual unconscious mind before Sigmund Freud, who once referred to him as ‘that brilliant mystic'. He was a proponent of research into postmortem survival, psychic phenomena and the unconscious mind. The work remains indispensable to the study of mysticism; both historic and in theory.
