Sinopsis:
Excerpt from Fiends, Ghosts, and Sprites: Including an Account of the Origin and Nature of Belief in the Supernatural
A belief in the supernatural has existed in all ages and among all nations.
To trace the origin of this belief, the causes of the various modifications it has undergone, and the phases it has assumed, is, perhaps, one of the most interesting researches to which the mind can be given, - interesting, inasmuch as we find pervading every part of it the effects of those passions and affections which are most powerful and permanent in our nature.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the historical origins of the human belief in supernatural beings and how it has evolved and taken form within different societies. The author begins by exploring how human beings began to conceive of supernatural entities from the phenomena of nature and the limitations of human knowledge. Tracing the development of mythology across different cultures and historical eras, the author shows how the primary mythological concepts of different nations are remarkably similar, modified only by the specific details of each culture's environment and social organization. The author also discusses the influence of Christianity and other religious systems on the evolution of mythological beliefs, showing how the idea of the devil and other evil spirits was adapted and adopted into various mythologies. The author concludes by summarizing the significance of this exploration of mythology, emphasizing that the study of mythological beliefs can illuminate our understanding of human nature and the ways in which we have sought to understand and control the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
