What Psychical Research Has Accomplished

By William James

Book Overview

""What Psychical Research Has Accomplished"" is a book written by William James, a prominent American philosopher and psychologist. The book discusses the history and achievements of psychical research, which is the scientific study of paranormal phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychic healing. James argues that psychical research has made significant contributions to our understanding of the human mind and consciousness, and that it deserves to be taken seriously as a legitimate field of scientific inquiry. He reviews a number of case studies and experiments that provide evidence of paranormal phenomena, and also considers the criticisms and skepticism that have been leveled against psychical research. Overall, the book offers a thoughtful and well-reasoned defense of the importance and validity of psychical research.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy, by William James.
