Bücher von Carl B. Becker

Paranormal Experience and Survival of Death amasses data and surveys from a century of research on the paranormal on four continents: Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Studying the tensions between religious and scientific perspectives, Becker reviews numerous substantiated accounts of demon-possession, of memories of past lives, of ghostly apparitions, and out-of-body experiences. He analyzes the medical evidence and what such experiences imply about survival after death. The author then looks at the reasons for the taboos on scientific discussion of such research within the social sciences, and proposes a new paradigm for a more holistic view of the field.

This volume explores new grounds for ethics in human experience which do not depend on religious affiliation and which would apply ethics to the interpersonal and global problems of the world, and suggests that our bodies, feelings, dreams and sychronous experiences give us clues to ethics.
