Description

Science and Specters at Salem examines the intellectual foundations behind the judges' controversial decisions during the Salem witch trials, shifting focus from social dynamics to the philosophical commitments that shaped their acceptance of spectral evidence and touch tests. This Routledge Studies volume argues that the judges' high education and adherence to specific English philosophical schools directly influenced their willingness to admit questionable evidence in court. By analysing the intellectual background of these key figures, the book reveals how Enlightenment-era thinking and scientific inquiry paradoxically reinforced belief in supernatural phenomena, offering fresh insight into why Salem's judges accepted evidence that modern observers find bewildering.

Key Features

Science and Specters at Salem focuses on judges' intellectual commitments rather than social history between accused and accusers.

This Routledge Studies volume examines connections between Enlightenment thinking and the acceptance of supernatural evidence in witch trials.

The analysis reveals why judges' adherence to particular English philosophical schools shaped their controversial legal decisions at Salem.
