The Metaphysical Society

The Metaphysical Society was a discussion group formed in the mid-19th century by intellectuals, primarily in Britain, to explore profound questions about existence, reality, and the nature of the universe. Members included scholars, scientists, and theologians who debated topics like the relationship between science and religion, the soul, and the concept of the divine. The society aimed to bridge different perspectives and deepen understanding of life's fundamental questions through rational discussion. Although it was relatively short-lived, it played a significant role in fostering dialogue between science and spirituality during a period of rapid scientific progress.
