Projectiology is the general term used to define the scientific study of paranormal
and anomalous capacities of consciousness.
The
book provides a foundation and proposed structure for establishing a science of
consciousness through an updated, contemporary paradigm. That paradigm is considered
to be updated since it investigates the nature and limits of consciousness
using paranormal phenomena (in particular the out-of-body experience) as an
exploratory tool, and thus is not constrained by the mechanistic paradigm. The
book has several sections that comprehensively analyze paranormal or anomalous
experiences, including synopses of scientific research into certain key
phenomena. In reaching its conclusions it examines the spectrum of positions on
consciousness research from throughout history, as evidenced by its bibliography
of almost 1,907 entries from works in 18 languages.
You
will note that the sections of the book that we propose using for the course
are related with the epistemological and ontological discussions as well as the
methodological issues involved in consciousness studies. In addition, parts have been specifically included
that may provoke debate on aspects of consciousness such as self-awareness and
lucidity.
We
propose binding the selected chapters and making them available to the students
as course materials. We have already obtained permission from the publisher to reproduce
those chapters for inclusion in the materials. The approximate cost to the
student will be US$28.70. I have enclosed a list of those chapters for
your information.
