Science in an Enchanted World: Philosophy and Witchcraft in the Work of Joseph Glanvill

By Julie Davies

This book explores how Joseph Glanvill, Fellow of the Royal Society, combined experimental philosophy and theology in his innovative and provocative defence of the existence of witchcraft - the Saducismus triumphatus (1681). Glanvill's work illuminates the interaction between changing religious and scientific thinking and attitudes to witchcraft.
