ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the role of parapsychology in a unified study centering on man’s nature, a Science of Man. The findings of the Duke Laboratory were confirmed at many other centers, but for that matter the work in parapsychology over the 35 years that have followed has yielded incidental confirmation too since of necessity it has all depended on the same basic psi operations that were established in the 1930’s.parapsychology—one that in due course spread to other centers here and abroad. The relation of parapsychology to the main divisions of natural science is important because these connections are themselves part of the meaning of parapsychology for man and are even essential to the conception of parapsychology itself. The most distinctive finding of parapsychology as things appear is the nonphysicality of its phenomena. These are the only occurrences known to the psychological sciences that have lent themselves to a crucial test of the hypothesis.
