Science, the Self, and Survival after Death

Zusatztext

<span><span><span>Ian Stevenson was a prominent and internationally-known psychiatrist, researcher, and well-regarded figure in the field of psychical research.</span><span>Science, the Self, and Survival after Death</span><span> 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 persons identity: What is consciousness? How did we become the unique individuals that we are? Do we survive in some form after death? Stevensons 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 Stevensons work and illustrates the issues and questions that guided him throughout his career.<br><br></span></span></span>
