What reading level is Borderland of Psychical Research book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This also has a technical import and denotes functional disease of the intel- lectual activities. They are such as mistaken cases of identity, for example, thinking one is Caesar, Christ, God, or other personality, " illusions " of persecution (paranoia), religious ecstasy, etc. These are typical cases of insanity, and involve disturbances apparently only in non-sensory centres. Sensory disturbance may at times also be concerned, but it is not essential to delusions that sensory affection shoul...d be involved, though hallucinations may be the sequence of delusions and conceal the real source of the trouble. But delusions proper may involve nothing but diseased functions of the intellectual 198 PSEUDO - SPIRITISTIC PHENOMENA 199 activities, and so represent errors of judgment as unavoidable as are certain types of hallucinations.
But the term delusion has a general meaning almost synonymous with illusion on the one hand, and with fallacy on the other. When we wish to in- dicate that a person is mistaken in his judgment and mistaken in a manner difficult to correct, we speak, at least loosely, of his delusion, and at times we as freely use the term illusion to describe similar errors.
