New Consciousness Review

Jun 13 2012

The rigorous habits of thought Chris Carter learned at Oxford shine through his book, Science and Psychic Phenomena: The Fall of the House of Skeptics. In our interview Chris goes into the history of parapsychology and the research and denials that came with it. He shows that, contrary to mainstream belief, replicable evidence of psi phenomena exists. The controversy over parapsychology continues not because ESP and other abilities cannot be verified but because their existence challenges deeply held worldviews more strongly rooted in religious and philosophical beliefs than in hard science.
