For centuries both primitive and sophisticated societies have been
spellbound by persons who claim to have 'psychic' power. Those who
present a case for the existence of extrasensory perception (ESP) -
mediums, spiritualists, telepaths, clairvoyants, psychokinetics,
and others - insist that their unique abilities stand outside the
realm of conventional scientific evaluation; that parapsychology
offers new hope for understanding the richness and diversity of the
human mind and its relationship to the world. In fact, much has
been done in recent years in an attempt to convince the scientific
community that such phenomena are legitimate and credible. What
challenges do these parapsychological claims pose to science? What
support is given for the existence of these phenomena? Have the
advocates of ESP established their case? In this revised and
updated edition of his powerful volume "ESP and Parapsychology: A
Re-evaluation", C.E.M. Hansel, one of the first internationally
known scholars to evaluate the evidence for ESP, returns once more
to the trenches to reassess, rethink, and reconsider some of the
major battlefields of this ongoing debate. Undaunted by persistent
claims for newly discovered psychical energies and capacities,
Hansel remains dedicated to the view that if ESP is to be
scientifically established there must be demonstrable proof in the
form of replicable experiments. This fascinating volume recounts
the scientific community's efforts to provide, test, and analyze
such evidence, while at the same time seeking to expose the
confusion, trickery, and deception that has permeated the search
for psychic power.
