Levitations materializations healings earthquakelike rocking The evidence of large scale spontaneous psychokinesis through history is a neglected and unjustly maligned aspect of the science of parapsychology In The Limits of Influence Stephen E Braude argues that the familiar cardguessing experiments and statistical proofs of PSI will never elicit important or revealing facts about the phenomena Instead he turns our attention to the substantial if sometimes bizarre qualitative evidence Not only does this pose no threat to the fabric of science but it holds out hope for substantial progress in psychology as well as in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of mind which have so far have failed to solve fundamental problems of consciousness and intentionality This book should be of interest to students and teachers of philosophy and psychology
