Science and a Future Life

by James H. Hyslop

About this book

James H. Hyslop examines psychical research in relation to the possibility of life after death. After introducing the field and its problems, he gives particular attention to the medium Leonora Piper and to investigations reported by Richard Hodgson and other researchers.

Personal experiments and reported communications lead into comparisons of telepathic and spiritistic explanations. Later chapters discuss objections, conditions affecting communications and the ethical implications Hyslop draws from the inquiry. This complete August 1905 second edition preserves the historical work first issued in May of that year, together with its index.
