Critical Reflections on the Paranormal discusses various aspects of paranormal phenomena such as telepathy, psychokinesis, trance-mediumship, near-death experiences, and past-life memories. It reflects on what is reasonable to believe about them, and why; and it suggests what changes they might demand in our worldview, if these phenomena are accepted as genuine. The collection includes essays written by Susan Armstrong, Heather Botting, Stephen Braude, Don Evans, David Ray Griffin, James Horne, Terence Penelhum, and the editors.

"Krister Dylan Knapp provides [an] analytical and contextualized account of James's psychical research. Knapp argues that psychical research permeated James's life: while James always maintained a critical stance towards claims of paranormal phenomena, its study was central to his relationships familial and professional, shaped his unique intellectual disposition, and threaded together his life's intellectual trajectory"--

Angesichts der enormen technologischen Fortschritte und unseres Wissens über unsere äußere Natur benötigen wir ein neues Gleichgewicht in der Vertiefung und Erweiterung des Wissens und der Kompetenzen unseres "Weltinnenraums" (Rilke), unseres Bewusstseins. Dies erfordert eine zunehmende wissenschaftliche Erforschung dessen, wie unser Bewusstsein funktioniert: biologisch, psychologisch, spirituell, sozial, individuell, kollektiv, ästhetisch. Es erfordert darüber hinaus die Entwicklung einer Bewusstseinskultur, die uns hilft, uns unseres Bewusstseins bewusst zu werden. Und schließlich geht es darum, diese besondere Würde unseres Menschseins, Bewusstsein zu besitzen, verantwortlich weiterzuentwickeln, unseren Platz in der Evolution besser zu verstehen und mehr und mehr bewusste Gestalter unseres Lebens und unseres Zusammenlebens zu werden. Das Werk stellt diese fundamentale Qualität unseres Menschseins ins Zentrum und lässt Menschen zu Wort kommen, die sich im deutschsprachigen Raum am fundiertesten und intensivsten seit Jahrzehnten mit dieser Thematik beschäftigen. Es beleuchtet einerseits den aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft zu wesentlichen Schwerpunkten und gibt andererseits neue Einblicke in das Potenzial unseres Bewusstseins.

'The space of the paranormal can indeed be frightening. But psychoanalysis specializes in entering and tolerating frightening spaces. Why should this one be an exception?'-Nick Totton from the Foreword. This fascinating and long-overdue work on paranormal phenomena - a topic ignored in mainstream psychoanalytic media since the 1950s - aims to demonstrate the real relevance of the paranormal to psychoanalysis and clinical practice. The author has gathered together a wide range of psychoanalytic approaches, including Freudian, Lacanian, Jungian and Reichian, to present an impressive collection of thought-provoking articles on this controversial subject. Various aspects of the paranormal are investigated, such as dream telepathy, parapsychology, UFO contactee stories and alien abductions (the only wholly sceptical paper in this collection, presented by two Parisian Lacanian analysts), and synchronicity. There is also a philosophical essay concerned with the concept of the paranormal and the surrounding psychoanalytic ideas. This is a well-informed and well-argued work that will engage its readers in a stimulating debate on the disputed concept of the paranormal.
