Psychical Research And Survival

By James Hervey Hyslop

Book Overview

Psychical Research and Survival is a book written by James H. Hyslop that delves into the realm of psychical research and the possibility of survival after death. Hyslop, a renowned philosopher and psychologist, explores the evidence for paranormal phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and mediumship, and how these phenomena might provide evidence for the existence of an afterlife. The book begins with an overview of the history of psychical research and the various theories and methodologies used in the field. Hyslop then presents a detailed examination of some of the most compelling cases of psychic phenomena, including the work of famous mediums such as Eusapia Palladino and Leonora Piper. Throughout the book, Hyslop argues that these phenomena cannot be explained away as mere coincidence or fraud, and that they provide strong evidence for the survival of consciousness after death. He also addresses some of the common objections to psychical research and the afterlife, such as the problem of evil and the lack of empirical evidence. Overall, Psychical Research and Survival is a thought-provoking and well-researched book that provides a comprehensive overview of the field of psychical research and its implications for our understanding of human consciousness and the afterlife.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
