Scientists rarely take 'paranormal experiences' seriously.
Furthermore, in the recent past the concept of the 'paranormal' did
not even exist in philosophy. William James, who extensively
studied mediumistic phenomena, labelled them 'wild beasts of the
philosophical desert'.This book demonstrates that to important
philosophers - from Kant to Derrida - controversial phenomena like
telepathy and clairvoyance were serious topics.The authors of this
collection have studied relevant texts that have hitherto received
little attention, and illustrate how each of the philosophers in
question thoughtfully interpreted exceptional experiences that seem
to go beyond our understanding.
