Psychic Science an Introduction and Contribution to the Experimental Study
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of phenomena labeled psychic, arguing that these phenomena can and should be investigated scientifically. There has been a tendency to dismiss reports of such phenomena due to their unusual nature, but this book aims to reframe the conversation. It argues that there are three main categories of psychic phenomena, each with its own characteristics and potential for scientific study. The author suggests that science has largely focused on the first category, which can be explained by known scientific principles, and that more attention should be given to the other two categories, which involve phenomena that are more difcult to explain. By organizing and classifying psychic phenomena, the author seeks to show that they are not as mysterious as they may seem and that they offer a rich eld for scientic exploration. The book thus challenges the traditional division between science and the paranormal, suggesting that there is a vast and unexplored realm of phenomena that science can and should investigate.
