Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many western philosophers have claimed that there are no psychical powers, that the human being is simply an advanced form of matter, that the world has no purpose, and that the very notion that a person could survive the death of the physical body is not just false but nonsensical. H. H. Price is an important English philosopher who did not share these views. If it should be true that we have psychical powers, and Price was convinced that we do, this has very important implications for human nature and destiny - we have souls, there is some purpose to the features of nature, and this life may be just a portion of the process of soul-building that is our destiny. H. H. Price is widely credited as being the first, modern western philosopher to develop a coherent picture of what the life beyond might look like.
Book Synopsis Parapsychology, Philosophy and the Mind by : Fiona Steinkamp
Download or read book Parapsychology, Philosophy and the Mind written by Fiona Steinkamp and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Beloff is one of our foremost authorities in parapsychology. He is credited with an instrumental role in the acceptance of parapsychology into academia. On April 21 and 22, 2000, a two-day international conference was held by the Koestler Parapsychology Unit of the Psychology Department at the University of Edinburgh to celebrate Beloff’s eightieth birthday. Most of the essays in this work were presented at this conference honoring John Beloff. All of the contributors have published a number of articles in mainstream philosophy and their essays promote Beloff’s greatest interest—a philosophical interaction with parapsychology. The book is divided into three sections and each section has three papers. The papers in the first section, “Parapsychology, Philosophy and the Mind,” explore “the mind-brain problem,” parapsychology and the principle of closure, and a cross-cultural perspective on dualism and the self. The second section, “Parapsychology, Self and Survival,” looks at parapsychological phenomena and the sense of self, chrysalid therapy, and the problem of super psi. The third section, “Parapsychology, Religion and Spirituality,” features papers that discuss parapsychology and how it relates to Hume’s view of miracles, to religion, and to the origin of the Copernican hypothesis.

Book Synopsis ESP and Psychokinesis by : Stephen E. Braude
Download or read book ESP and Psychokinesis written by Stephen E. Braude and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work was the first sustained philosophical study of psychic phenomena to follow C.D. Broad's LECTURES ON PSYCHICAL RESEARCH, written nearly twenty years earlier. The author clearly defines the categories of psychic phenomena, surveys the most compelling experimental data, and traces their implications for the philosophy of science and the philosophy of mind. He considers carefully the abstract presuppositions underlying leading theories of psychic phenomena, and he offers bold criticisms of both mechanistic analyses of communication and psychophysical identity theories. In addition, he challenges the received view that experimental repeatability is the paramount criterion for evaluating parapsychological research, and he exposes the deep confusions underlying Jung's concept of synchronicity.
Book Synopsis Parapsychology, Philosophy, and Spirituality by : David Ray Griffin
Download or read book Parapsychology, Philosophy, and Spirituality written by David Ray Griffin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-01-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, David Ray Griffin, best known for his work on the problem of evil, turns his attention to the even more controversial topic of parapsychology. Griffin examines why scientists, philosophers, and theologians have held parapsychology in disdain and argues that neither a priori philosophical attacks nor wholesale rejection of the evidence can withstand scrutiny. After articulating a constructive postmodern philosophy that allows the parapsychological evidence to be taken seriously, Griffin examines this evidence extensively. He identifies four types of repeatable phenomena that suggest the reality of extrasensory perception and psychokinesis. Then, on the basis of a nondualistic distinction between mind and brain, which makes the idea of life after death conceivable, he examines five types of evidence for the reality of life after death: messages from mediums; apparitions; cases of the possession type; cases of the reincarnation type; and out-of-body experiences. His philosophical and empirical examinations of these phenomena suggest that they provide support for a postmodern spirituality that overcomes the thinness of modern religion without returning to supernaturalism.

Book Synopsis Wild Beasts of the Philosophical Desert by : Hein van Dongen
Download or read book Wild Beasts of the Philosophical Desert written by Hein van Dongen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
