BCDERIUM of Extra/Sensory Powers
  • Descrição: The idea of the senses being five in number, and of each sense as having its proper sphere, has a long history. It has been discussed by philosophers and embellished by artists down through the ages. Yet throughout its history, there have been those who questioned the adequacy of the model of "the five senses" and postulated the existence of additional faculties of perception.Covering topics ranging from proprioception and intuition to shamanism and extra-sensory perception, "The Sixth Sense Reader" is dedicated to stimulating reflection and debate on the cultural contexts which give rise to reports of powers exceeding the ordinary and accepted bounds of sense. Key readings from disciplines, such as anthropology and history, philosophy and biology form the basis of an in-depth examination into the far borderlands of consciousness, and yield many startling insights regarding the varieties of extra/sensory perception and experience. "The Sixth Sense Reader" includes an ABCDERIUM of alleged psychic and other powers, which provides a concise reference glossary, and opens further avenues for investigation
