The more than fifty articles, essays, and reviews in this volume,
collected here for the first time, were published by William James
over a span of some twenty-five years. The record of a sustained
interest in phenomena of a highly controversial nature, they make
it amply clear that James's work in psychical research was not an
eccentric hobby but a serious and sympathetic concern. James was
broad-minded in his approach but tough-minded in his demand that
investigations be conducted in rigorous scientific terms. He hoped
his study of psychic phenomena would strengthen the philosophy of
an open-ended, pluralistic universe that he was formulating during
the same period, and he looked forward to the new horizons for
human experience that a successful outcome of his research would
create.
Robert A. McDermott, in his Introduction, discusses the relation
of these essays to James's other work in philosophy, psychology,
and religion.
