How the founder of German psychology scoffed & pathologized unorthodox science out of intellectual discourse – and tried to alter the historical record in due course. Plug for my recent article in the @spr1882.bsky.social encyclopedia. www.forbiddenhistories.com/2025/10/wundt

Greetings from Basel! Picture obviously taken from a safe distance... 😅

Nice: a major exhibition on #ghosts & #spirits in western #art is coming to the #KunstmuseumBasel in my current home town. It’s supposed to kick off on 20 September, so expect to see a brief report & pics.

Yeah sweaty, look it up! The kind of sh*t that instantly sends me into a schizophrenic state (laughing tears while assuming foetal position & just wishing to die).

Sh*t's getting real. 🥵

The deed is done, I just deleted both of my X accounts. 🥲

I finally received my author copy of the Oxford Handbook of William James, with my chapter on WJ's research on telepathy, spiritualism & other spooky stuff. 👻

10 years ago I guest-edited this Studies in History & Philosophy of Science C special section, which totally revolutionized the way historians & philosophers of science approach continuities of the occult in modern science & medicine.

Just kidding, as far as I can tell it had zero impact. 😂

Thanks, Bomin! Here's the book cover & back with blurbs.
