Abstract

(from the preface) seeks to cast doubt on physicalism by appealing to parapsychological claims /// the point here is that every attempt to explain the relevant phenomena according to the laws of physics, or to incorporate them in some broad physicalist framework, has failed / hence we are confronted here with certain apparent powers of the mind that cannot be explained as properties of the brain / although these claims are still disputed by the scientific community at large, no one who has studied the detailed evidence at close hand can doubt that we have here evidence that may be valid and certainly must not be ignored
