Beskrivning
Ian Stevenson was a prominent and internationally-known psychiatrist, researcher, and well-regarded figure in the field of psychical research. Science, the Self, and Survival after Death is the first book devoted to surveying the entirety of his work and the extraordinary scope and variety of his research. He studied universal questions that cut to the core of a person’s identity: What is consciousness? How did we become the unique individuals that we are? Do we survive in some form after death? Stevenson’s writings on the nature of science and the mind-body relationship, as well as his empirical research, demonstrate his strongly held belief that the methods of science can be applied successfully to such humanly vital questions. Featuring a selection of his papers and excerpts from his books, this collection presents the larger context of Stevenson’s work and illustrates the issues and questions that guided him throughout his career.

Recensioner i media

The growing research on the whole expanse of human experience owes a big debt of gratitude to Stevenson’s lifelong, conscientious work. Readers interested in the many questions addressed by Stevenson will benefit from his very considerable knowledge and insights, but I would also recommend the book to graduate students in psychology and related areas, to counter the notion that the only way to increase our knowledge of the human condition is by tackling easy problems in a laboratory setting. Emily Williams Kelly has reminded us of Stevenson’s important contributions and of the challenges still facing those willing to research all of human experience
