The Journal of Practical Metaphysics was a Boston New Thought monthly of the late 1890s, associated with the Quimby-derived 'practical metaphysics' worked out by Horatio Dresser and his circle. Its pages join the movement's signature vocabulary — the silence, concentration, the subconscious, spiritual healing, and 'success' understood as freedom and self-mastery — to an earnest program of social reform, from the treatment of the insane and the prison system to a distaste for sensational newspapers. A pronounced strand of suggestive therapeutics runs alongside the metaphysics, marking the journal's place in the mental-science healing project that grew out of, and defined itself against, Christian Science. It is best read as a doctrinal and therapeutic organ of mature New Thought rather than as an occult or spiritualist periodical, despite scattered borrowings from both. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
