Autor: L. H. Myers

Frederic William Henry Myers, commonly known as F. W. H. Myers, was a classical scholar, poet, philologist, and one of the founding figures of the Society for Psychical Research. Born on February 6, 1843, in Keswick, Cumberland, Myers was an intellectual figure of the Victorian era deeply involved in the exploration of the human mind and the potential for its survival beyond physical death. His most significant work, „Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death, “ published posthumously in 1903, is a comprehensive two-volume treatise examining a wide range of phenomena associated with the human psyche, including telepathy, apparitions, and trance states. Myers“ literary style reflects his scholarly background and his commitment to rigorous analysis, which is evident in the depth and detail with which he investigates psychological and paranormal subjects. His contributions to psychical research have been influential in both psychology and parapsychology, as he sought to bridge the gap between science and spirituality. He relentlessly pursued empirical evidence for the supernatural, and his work remains a foundational text for those who believe in the continuity of consciousness beyond the physical form.
