Reviews

[Erik Graff]

From my original bibliographical index card: "Poorly written. Expounds the 'conservative view' (p. 152) that ESP cannot be explained physically. This is an attack on the metaphysical materialist prejudice but, in fact, information derived from psi research indicates that mental operations have reality, causal efficacy &/or objective existence (p. 198). This is a new, experimental-scientific approach to the mind/body and freedom-of-the-will problems so weighted now to mere deterministic materialism."
