Telepathy

Quote:This paper has three parts. In the first part I attempt to clarify the concept of telepathy, describe some of its outstanding features, and indicate its connection with other para-psychological concepts. In the second part I consider data obtained in some of the better recent studies in telepathy. And in the final part, I argue that a familiar sort of physicalistic/mechanistic theory cannot possibly explain the phenomenon of telepathy - or, for that matter, any form of human communication.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
