Alison Butler

    Alison Butler è una storica sociale e culturale che esamina come gli sviluppi scientifici contemporanei abbiano influenzato l'evoluzione dell'occultismo vittoriano. La sua ricerca esplora come gli occultisti abbiano cercato di rendere il loro campo più "scientifico" in risposta all'ascesa del naturalismo scientifico. Indaga come questa forma rimodellata di occultismo si sia dimostrata più adatta ad essere associata alla nascente scienza della mente, la psicologia. Il lavoro di Butler approfondisce i contesti intellettuali e sociali che hanno plasmato il pensiero scientifico moderno.
