Altering Consciousness

Multidisciplinary Perspectives [2 volumes]

By: Etzel Cardeña,Michael J. Winkelman

This authoritative, multidisciplinary overview of altered states of consciousness (ASC) shows how their study is necessary to gain a fundamental understanding of human culture, history, and biology. Altered consciousness is one of humanity's most mystical and life-altering aspects. These remarkable changes in mental state have understandably been a topic of general interest and scientific inquiry across time. Beyond simply satisfying our curiosity, however, studies focused upon altered consciousness can also bring valuable insights into our experience, biology, and culture. This unprecedented two-volume set will intrigue anyone interested in psychology, biology and neurology, science, history, arts and the humanities, and literature on consciousness, from general readers to scholars and researchers. An impressive collection of international contributors address altered states of consciousness from the perspectives of history, evolution, psychology, culture, literature, human biology, contemporary science, and society, seeking to illuminate the causes, effects, and meanings of altered consciousness. The first volume provides an introduction and centers on the importance of altered states in history, culture, and the humanities, while the second volume presents biological and psychological perspectives on altered consciousness and examines their potential for healing and pathology.

Varieties of Anomalous Experience

Examining the Scientific Evidence

By: Etzel Cardeña,Steven J. Lynn,Stanley Krippner

Mainstream psychology has mostly ignored or even derided anomalous experiences after an initial interest at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th. They have been examples of what postmodernists refer to as "the other," phenomena that fall between the cracks of the house built by contemporary mainstream psychology. However, psychology now has the maturity and breadth required to take a serious look at unusual but important experiences. We define an anomalous experience (AE) as an uncommon experience (e.g., synesthesia), or one that, although it may be experienced by a significant number of persons (e.g., psi experiences), is believed to deviate from ordinary experience or from the usually accepted explanations of reality according to Western mainstream science. The focus of this book is on experiences, not on testing the ontological nature of such experiences. Thus, for instance, the possibility of veridical psi occurrences is mentioned in the section of explanatory theories in the psi-related experiences chapter, but its focus is on the experiences people have"--Chapter.
