I mention this now because a few months ago the journal Studies in History and Philosophy of the Biological and Biomedical Sciences published a significant new issue (Volume 48, Part A). It contains a lengthy special section on psychical research, guest-edited by Andreas Sommer. I’ll probably comment again about this journal issue in later Editorials, but this time I want to focus on the first paper to catch my attention. Not surprisingly, I suppose, it was written by a philosopher, Ian James Kidd from Durham University, and it boasted the intriguing title, “Was Sir William Crookes epistemically virtuous?” (Kidd 2014). One reason this caught my eye is that I’ve written quite a bit about Crookes’s work in parapsychology (see, e.g., Braude 1985, 1997, 2007) and have indicated why I consider that work to be important. But Kidd’s essay also interested me because I had only recently become aware that a growing number of philosophers had picked up an old philosophical thread (arguably started by Aristotle) and were creating a new—and I’d say worthwhile—philosophical specialty called virtue epistemology, which roughly parallels developments in an area of moral theory called virtue ethics. Virtue epistemologists quite plausibly maintain that traditional forms of epistemology—perhaps especially those practiced by my colleagues in analytic philosophy—miss something crucial by failing to account for the normative dimensions not just of knowledge specifically but also of rationality in general. I’d long been impressed by the view of one of my philosophical heroes, C. S. Peirce, who considered logic in its most general sense to be the ethics of belief. So I was naturally pleased to see the authors of one recent book in virtue epistemology (Roberts & Wood 2007) begin their book with the following passage from Peirce: . in induction a habit of probity is needed for success. And in addition to probity, industry is essential. In the presumptive choice of hypotheses, still higher virtues are needed—a true elevation of soul. At the very low- est, a man must prefer the truth to his own interest and well-being and not merely to his bread and butter, and to his own vanity, too, if he is to do much in science. This . is thoroughly borne out by examining the characters of scientific men and of great heuretic students of all kinds. we can perceive that good reasoning and good morals are closely allied; and I suspect that 6 Editorial with the further development of ethics this relation will be found to be even more intimate

  • Super-Psi and the Survivalist Interpretation of Mediumship
    Journal of Scientifi c Exploration, Vol. 23, No. 2, pp. 167–193, 2009 0892-3310/09 ESSAY Super-Psi and the Survivalist Interpretation of Mediumship MICHAEL SUDDUTH Department of Philosophy San Francisco State University San Francisco, CA e-mail: [email protected] Abstract—According to the survivalist interpretation of mediumship, the existence of discarnate persons provides the best explanation for the data associ- ated with physical and mental mediumship. Others—advocates of what is often called the “super-psi hypothesis”—maintain that the data of mediumship may be at least equally explained in terms of living agent psi (ESP and psychokinesis). Many defenders of the survivalist interpretation of mediumship attempt to defl ate the alleged explanatory virtues of the super-psi hypothesis by arguing that the hypothesis is unfalsifi able and lacks independent evidential support. My central contention in this paper is that these frequently encountered survivalist criticisms of the super-psi hypothesis are ultimately self-defeating to the case for survival from mediumship. To show this I fi rst argue in some detail that the survivalist interpretation of mediumship is committed to a kind or degree of psi that is indistinguishable from what is required by the super-psi hypothesis. From this vantage point it can be shown that any attempt to impugn the explanatory virtues of the super-psi hypothesis on account of the kind or degree of psi it requires undercuts the argument for survival itself. Keywords: super-psi—survival—mediumship—telepathy—clairvoyance— postmortem Introduction Data collected from physical and mental mediumship constitute an important strand of ostensible evidence for postmortem survival.

Alvarado [email protected] Submitted March 11, 2020; Accepted July 5, 2020; Published December 15, 2020 DOI: 10.31275/20201785 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—Some early reference works about psychic phenomena have included bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and general over- view books. A particularly useful one, and the focus of the present article, is Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934). The encyclopedia has more than 900 alphabetically arranged entries. These cover such phenomena as apparitions, auras, automatic writing, clairvoyance, hauntings, materialization, poltergeists, premoni- tions, psychometry, and telepathy, but also mediums and psychics, re- searchers and writers, magazines and journals, organizations, theoretical ideas, and other topics. In addition to the content of this work, and some information about its author, it is argued that the Encyclopaedia is a good reference work for the study of developments from before 1933, even though it has some omissions and bibliographical problems. Keywords: Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science; Nandor Fodor; psychical re- search reference works; history of psychical research INTRODUCTION The work discussed in this article, Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934), is a unique compilation of information about psychical research and related topics up to around 1933. Widely used by writers interested in overviews of the literature, Fodor’s work is part of a reference literature developed over the years to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about the early publications of the field by students of psychic phenomena.

  • Hans Driesch's Interest in the Psychical Research. a Historical
    Medicina Historica 2017; Vol. 1, N. 3: 156-162 © Mattioli 1885 Original article: history of medicine Hans Driesch’s Interest in the Psychical Research. A Historical Study Germana Pareti Department of Philosophy and Science of Education, University of Torino, Italy Abstract. In recent times the source of interest in psychical research in Germany has been subject of relevant studies. Not infrequently these works have dealt with this phenomenon through the interpretation of the various steps and transformations present in Hans Driesch’s thought, from biology and medicine to neovital- ism, and finally to parapsychology. However these studies identified the causes of this growing involvement in paranormal research either in the historical context of “crisis” of modernity (or “crisis” in psychology), or in an attempt to “normalize” the supernatural as an alternative to the traditional experimental psychology. My paper aims instead at throwing light on the constant effort by Driesch to conceive (and found) psychical re- search as a science of the super-normal, using the methodology successfully adopted by the scientific community (especially German) in the late nineteenth century. Key words: Driesch, medicine, parapsychology Introduction. Driesch’s Life and Education one Zoologica in Naples, Italy.

  • Albert Von Schrenck-Notzing and Albert Moll1
    Med. Hist. (2012), vol. 56(2), pp. 255–276. c The Author 2012. Published by Cambridge University Press 2012 doi:10.1017/mdh.2011.36 Policing Epistemic Deviance: Albert von Schrenck-Notzing and Albert Moll1 ANDREAS SOMMER∗ UCL Centre for the History of Psychological Disciplines, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK Abstract: Shortly after the death of Albert von Schrenck-Notzing (1862–1929), the doyen of early twentieth century German para psychology, his former colleague in hypnotism and sexology Albert Moll (1862–1939) published a treatise on the psychology and pathology of parapsychologists, with Schrenck-Notzing serving as a prototype of a scientist suffering from an ‘occult complex’. Moll’s analysis concluded that parapsychologists vouching for the reality of supernormal phenomena, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis and materialisations, suffered from a morbid will to believe, which paralysed their critical faculties and made them cover obvious mediumistic fraud. Using Moll’s treatment of Schrenck-Notzing as an historical case study of boundary disputes in science and medicine, this essay traces the career of Schrenck-Notzing as a researcher in hypnotism, sexology and parapsychology; discusses the relationship between Moll and Schrenck-Notzing; and problematises the pathologisation and defamation strategies of deviant epistemologies by authors such as Moll. Keywords: Academic Freedom, Boundary Work, Epistemic Deviance, Hypnotism, Parapsychology, Psychical Research Albert von Schrenck-Notzing: From Psychopathia sexualis to the Materialisation of Dreams Baron Albert von Schrenck-Notzing was born in Oldenburg, Germany, on 18 May 1862. After entering Munich University in 1883 to train as a physician, he studied hypnotism under Hippolyte Bernheim in Nancy, together with Sigmund Freud, in the late 1880s.
