Description
Building on the groundbreaking research of Irreducible Mind and Beyond Physicalism, Edward Kelly and Paul Marshall gather a cohort of leading scholars to consider the significance of extraordinary experiences for our understanding of reality.
Currently emerging as a middle ground between warring fundamentalisms of religion and science, an expanded science-based understanding of nature finally accommodates empirical realities of spiritual sorts while also rejecting rationally untenable overbeliefs.
The vision sketched here provides an antidote to the prevailing postmodern disenchantment of the world and demeaning of human possibilities. It not only more accurately and fully reflects our human condition but also engenders hope and encourages ego-surpassing forms of human flourishing.
It offers reasons for us to believe that freedom is real, that our human choices matter, and that we have barely scratched the surface of our human potentials. It also addresses the urgent need for a greater sense of worldwide community and interdependenceβa sustainable ethosβby demonstrating that under the surface we and the world are much more extensively interconnected than previously recognised.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology praises the book for robustly supporting post-materialist principles, such as the idea that consciousness is fundamental and cannot be reduced to physical brain processes. The editors assemble ten scholars who critically examine physicalism and argue, drawing from anomalies, philosophy, psychology, parapsychology, and neuroscience, that consciousness is indeed unbound and not confined to the brain.
