| Summary | "Bygone Beliefs: Being a Series of Excursions in the Byways of Thought" by H. Stanley Redgrove is a collection of essays that explores various historical and philosophical ideas related to human thought, likely written in the early 20th century. The work delves into topics like medieval philosophy, superstitions, and the impact of ancient beliefs on contemporary perspectives, suggesting that modern readers may glean valuable insights from these bygone ideas. Redgrove aims to shed light on the significance and evolution of these beliefs, emphasizing a scientific exploration of even the most fantastic conceptions. The opening of the book sets the stage for this exploration, beginning with a preface that outlines the intent behind the author's excursions into these thought byways. He discusses the evolution of beliefs from animism in early human history to the more elaborate systems developed in the medieval period, highlighting figures such as Pythagoras and the alchemical traditions. Redgrove reflects on the interconnectedness of ancient beliefs with modern understanding, providing a philosophical framework that encourages readers to recognize the meaning and relevance of historical thought patterns in shaping contemporary perspectives on science, philosophy, and the nature of belief itself.
