Books by Stephen E. Braude

Crimes of Reason brings together expanded and updated versions of some of Braude's best previously published essays, along with new essays written specifically for this book.

Stephen E Braude has studied the para-normal in everyday life, from extrasensory perception and psychokinesis to mediumship and materialization. Here, he presents an account of his memorable encounters with such phenomena. He recounts in cases that challenge our most fundamental scientific beliefs and others that expose our own credulousness.

This text argues that most explanations of multiple personalities fail to distinguish the condition clearly enough from related states such as hypnotic trance, dreaming, and mediumship, and maintains that even the deeply divided personality contains an underlying psychological unity.

The Limits of Influence is a detailed examination and defense of the evidence for largescale-psychokinesis (PK). It examines the reasons why experimental evidence has not, and perhaps cannot, convince most skeptics that PK is genuine, and it considers why traditional experimental procedures are important to reveal interesting facts about the phenomena.

Immortal Remains takes a fresh look at some of the most puzzling cases suggesting survival after death, and considers how to distinguish evidence for an afterlife from evidence for exotic things (including psychic things) done by the living. Author Stephen E. Braude concludes that we have some reason, finally, for believing in life after death.
