Synopsis

""Lectures on Psychical Research"" is a book written by C. D. Broad that incorporates the Perrott lectures given at Cambridge University in 1959 and 1960. The book delves into the field of psychical research, which explores phenomena that are not easily explained by traditional scientific methods. Broad discusses various topics within the field, including telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis, and presents evidence and arguments for and against the existence of these phenomena. He also explores the implications of psychical research for our understanding of the mind and consciousness. This book is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of a fascinating and controversial subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book, first published in 1962, is based on a series of lectures first given at Cambridge University in 1959 and 1960, dealing with 'psychical research' - i.e. the scientific investigation of ostensibly paranormal phenomena. Split into three sections, Professor Broad's study examines numerous issues relating to psychical theory, including guessing, hallucinatory quasi-perception and trance-mediumship.
