Overview
"This is a book of ""systematic parapsychology."" The book aims to construct a framework and system of parapsychology. It takes a comprehensive approach to the field and states that parapsychology has a different philosophical background from the existing science and religions, and posits that pantheism could be the theoretical basis of parapsychology. The book also integrates parapsychology with oriental philosophies and the New Age Movement thought."

Reviews
This is an unexpected work. I have never read a so comprehensive book on the topic like this one. I am impressed that hundreds of cases and people are well-organized and related vividly. The author said that he aimed to construct a framework and system of parapsychology, he did. I strongly recommend the book. -- Samuel Selden What does pantheism mean? Goods marked with MADE IN CHINA flood our supermarkets. We owe China trillions of dollars. Will the pantheism marked with MADE IN CHINA change our belief? -- An Anonymous Reader The Outline of Parapsychology is an impressive book that reflects the erudition and dedication of its author, Dr. Jesse Hong Xiong. It provides its readers with a philosophical as well as a historical perspective on the scientific attempt to understand reports of phenomena that appear to transcend mainstream science's understanding of time, space, and energy. In addition, it provides a masterful overview of serious research programs involving telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, psychokinesis, and related topics. The Outline of Parapsychology demonstrates why this field of study is neither a superstition nor a pseudoscience, but a frontier science with profound implications for the understanding of Nature. -- Stanley Krippner, Ph.D.
