Episode Details

Ed Kelly has been active in parapsychology for several decades and is being recognized for his sustained efforts to explore the ramifications of psi phenomena for the mind-brain relationship, and the challenge posed by anomalous phenomena for reductionist physicalism more broadly. He shares his decades of exploration into the nature of consciousness, the limitations of physicalism, and the potential for a paradigm shift in science to better understand mystical experiences, near-death phenomena, and the possibility of survival after death.
