Is Psychical Research A Science?

By Hereward Carrington

Book Overview

""Is Psychical Research A Science?"" by Hereward Carrington is a critical examination of the scientific validity of psychical research. The author explores the history and methods of psychical research, including experiments with mediums, telepathy, and clairvoyance. He also discusses the challenges faced by researchers in this field, such as skepticism from the scientific community and the difficulty of obtaining consistent results. Carrington argues that despite these challenges, psychical research can be considered a legitimate scientific pursuit, as long as it adheres to rigorous scientific standards. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the intersection between science and the supernatural, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of psychical research.THIS 86 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Problems of Psychical Research: Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal, by Hereward Carrington.
