Sobre este artículo
New York: Charles Scribners Sons, 1931. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 12mo. Full black cloth with silver titles and green stamped designs. ix, 340 pp. Offsetting to endpapers. Bookplate of C.B. Farrar. Notes to rear endpapers. Dust jacket is price clipped, sunned to extremities, long tear to foot of front fore edge, short tears repaired with tape. With wit and learning Dr. Swift examines some of the cults that flourish today--astrology, mental telepathy, new thought, psychoanalysis, numerology, and all the others. He shows how these superstitions trap an innocent and well-intended person, confusing his mind, preventing him from having a healthy and constructive life, or from being aware that he walks in error. Dr. Swift has gathered hundreds of anecdotes which illustrate how these modern cults (really old superstitions) turn the minds of those who believe in them into a jungle of worthless ideas. He dissects these cults, examines their origins, and traces the manner of their survival into our own day. |He also shows how recent discoveries have been so marvelous as to make it easy to believe in anything; how advances in each branch of science of have been attended by an increase in a corresponding superstition; and how old superstitions, deriving from the childhood of the race, take on a pseudo-scientific jargon and win converts.
