Parapsychology and Science-Professor Chris French(Quest Science month special)
Professor Chris French of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at Goldsmiths University speaking at the Centre for Inquiry(CfI) UK event on science and pseudoscience at Conway Hall, London.
(CFI UK’s primary aim is education, with the focus on the following three areas:
(i) the application of science and/or reason to questions regarding religion and the supernatural (e.g. questions about the divine, parapsychological questions, etc.)
(ii) the application of science and/or reason to pressing contemporary ethical dilemmas and social/political problems (e.g. stem-cell research, global warming)
(iii) the question of what is, and is not, good science (e.g. is intelligent design, or cold fusion, or magnet therapy, good science?)
CFI UK is concerned to defend and promote academic freedom, particularly from unjust legal threats, and to promote science-based policy.)
