The Overwhelming Evidence for Miracles Suppressed By Authorities | Princeton's Dale Allison

C. E. M. Hansel's book rigorously examines key parapsychology experiments on telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and psychokinesis, arguing that they fail to eliminate rational explanations such as sensory cues, recording errors, or fraud. Hansel demonstrates methodological flaws, lack of replication, and inadequate controls, concluding that no conclusive evidence for ESP exists. An introduction by Edward G. Boring highlights the improbability of ESP a priori.

In this book, David Bentley Hart engages in an unprecedented exploration of the mystery of consciousness through a Platonic dialogue. A group of aging Greek gods discuss the nature of existence, the mystery of mind, and whether there is a transcendent God from whom all things come. Hart systematically subjects the mechanical view of nature that has prevailed in Western culture for four centuries to dialectical interrogation, arguing that mental acts are irreducible to material causes. He powerfully rehabilitates a classical view where the structures of mind, organic life, and even language attest to an infinite act of intelligence in all things that we may as well call God.
