Reviews
"This elegantly written book shows a greater command of the empirical data than any other work on the subject by a philosopher, and no other philosophical work on the survival of death deals with the conceptual issues with greater subtlety or thoroughness." - Stephen E. Braude, author of ESP and Psychokinesis: A Philosophical Examination and The Limits of Influence: Psychokinesis and the Philosophy of Science
"This is a very thorough integration of the data from parapsychology, both experimental and anecdotal, into the philosophical discussions concerning the nature and role of consciousness. The scholarship is sound, and the issues raised in this book are very hot topics in the academic community, especially among philosophers and cognitive scientists." - Richard S. Broughton, Director, Institute for Parapsychology
"An informative book about parapsychology that I can recommend highly to all philosophers and theologians." - Ian Stevenson, M.D., Carlson Professor of Psychiatry, University of Virginia Health Sciences Center
