Produktbeschreibung

In "Apparitions; Or, The Mystery of Ghosts, Hobgoblins, and Haunted Houses Developed," Joseph Taylor embarks on a meticulous exploration of spectral phenomena, grounded in both empirical investigation and philosophical inquiry. Taylor employs a rational and analytical literary style that reflects the Enlightenment's growing interest in science and reason, setting his work against the backdrop of 18th-century skepticism towards superstition. With a deft mix of anecdotal evidence and scientific reasoning, he seeks to demystify the elements of the supernatural, offering insight into the cultural anxieties surrounding ghosts and haunted locales during his time. As a thinker deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of his age, Taylor, a scholar and philosopher, was motivated by a desire to reconcile popular belief in the supernatural with emerging scientific paradigms. His background in the study of science and philosophy enabled him to challenge the conventional narratives surrounding hauntings, transforming the discourse on apparitions into a compendium of not just fear, but also curiosity and inquiry. I highly recommend "Apparitions" to readers interested in the intersection of folklore, science, and philosophy. Taylor'Äôs work serves not only as a captivating historical document but also as a critical examination of humanity's enduring fascination with the unseen, making it an essential read for anyone eager to understand the complexities of the human psyche and cultural beliefs regarding the spectral realm.

Autorenporträt

Joseph Taylor grew up in a suburb of Baltimore and spent a good portion of his life in the same community. Joseph attended local schools and met his wife in that same community. Other than life experiences, he has no subsequent formal education. Joseph and his wife married at the age of 21, and they both anticipated a lifelong love affair. Most of his professional career was spent at one company (nearly 45 years). As of this writing they have two children... both are happily married; and Joseph and his wife remain very close with them. They also boast two grandchildren. When he was in his 40s Joseph started to branch out into various volunteer opportunities. Before long he was on the 'board of directors' of several organizations. As he reaches 70 years, he remains very active in several organizations and is most proud to have been honored with formal community recognition on two occasions. During an approximate 15-year time frame, Joseph suffered an unimaginable depression. (It's the basis of this book.) He has no idea how he was able to hide this from his friends, family, relatives and other acquaintances. More than once he thought about ending his life. No one knows that. Soon, Joseph and his wife will be married 50-years. His wife is a very private person and he doesn't want his family and friends to know the full weight of everything that he dealt with. He is better now and thinks she is too. He just wants to leave it alone for now. This is why he has written the book using a pseudo name. Writing this book... and re-living the worst time of his life has enabled him to somewhat get over it... and move forward. One day soon, he may actually acknowledge that he is a 'senior'.
