Essay Review: Three Routledge Reissues in Philosophy and Parapsychology. Lectures on Psychical Research by C. D. Broad; Brain and Mind edited by J. R. Smythies; Matter, Mind and Meaning by Whately Carington

Abstract

With very little fanfare (as far as I’ve seen), Routledge has republished three books in the relatively recent history of psychical research. All are available in quite expensive hardback versions, and Broad’s book is also mercifully available as a less expensive (but hardly bargain-priced) paperback. Moreover, all three can be purchased as e-books, but don’t expect bargains there either. As of this writing, the best Kindle price I saw for Smythies’ and Carington’s book is $92, although Broad’s can be had for about $35.
