Current mainstream opinion in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind holds that all aspects of human mind and consciousness are generated by physical processes occurring in brains. Views of this sort have dominated recent scholarly publication. The present volume, however, demonstrates empirically that this reductive materialism is not only incomplete but false. The authors systematically marshal evidence for a variety of psychological phenomena that are extremely difficult, and in some cases clearly impossible, to account for in conventional physicalist terms. Topics addressed include phenomena of extreme psychophysical influence, memory, psychological automatisms and secondary personality, near-death experiences and allied phenomena, genius-level creativity, and 'mystical' states of consciousness both spontaneous and drug-induced. The authors further show that these rogue phenomena are more readily accommodated by an alternative 'transmission' or 'filter' theory of mind/brain relations advanced over a century ago by a largely forgotten genius, F. W. H. Myers, and developed further by his friend and colleague William James. This theory, moreover, ratifies the commonsense conception of human beings as causally effective conscious agents, and is fully compatible with leading-edge physics and neuroscience. The book should command the attention of all open-minded persons concerned with the still-unsolved mysteries of the mind.

  1. Mastig men intressant
    Peter Möller, 10 augusti 2015

    Boken handlar om ett intressant ämne där positivistisk bevisföring är svår. Dock bör man för det inte avstå från att behandla ämnet. Boken är skriven av en forskargrupp vid "University of Virginia School of Medicine" i USA och består av ett antal kapitel som behandlar ämnen som minne, genialitet, mysticism med mera följt av en referenslista på 115 sidor.
    Språket är inte särskilt krångligt, men det kan ta lite tid att bli van vid forskarnas sätt att uttrycka sig.
