Psychical Research and Survival

by James H. Hyslop

About this book

James H. Hyslop examines psychical research in relation to the proposed survival of personal consciousness after death. He begins with the competing assumptions of materialism and Spiritualism before considering the kinds of evidence and explanations that investigators bring to the subject.

Chapters discuss telepathy, mediumistic communication, apparitions, premonitions and conceptions of a spiritual world. Hyslop also considers the difficulties of investigation and the implications he draws from the reported phenomena. This complete 1913 Quest Series volume, edited by G. R. S. Mead, retains the original text, bibliography and publisher material.
