Reviews

[Aryan Prasad]

My edition is a reprint of 1947 edition, so "modern" in the title may be misleading now. The book primarily focuses on the impact of certain scientific discoveries, including some pseudoscientific concepts such as ghost mediums, on philosophy.

Only utility from the book will be historic in nature.
