Parapsychology is a science made controversial by its subjects:
extrasensory perception, psychokinesis (mind over matter) and
disembodied minds, which imply life after death. Moreover, these
parapsychological phenomena (called "psi") challenge physicalism,
the philosophy that everything can be completely understood in
terms of physics. This book is a snapshot of the parapsychological
field, with essays written by authors of diverse academic
backgrounds and experiences. Essays examine parapsychological
phenomena from prehistory, through the founding of the science by
intellectuals distressed by physicalism, to the postmodern present.
It includes both experimental and theoretical evaluations of the
phenomena. Parapsychology is a science which may overturn the
philosophy which has dominated science since Newton and may inspire
curious readers who are disheartened by the consequent denial of
the spirit.
