“Now I do not myself share that superstitious reverence for the beliefs of common sense which many contemporary philosophers profess.

“I shall no doubt be blamed by certain scientists, and, I am afraid, by some philosophers, for having taken serious account of the alleged facts which are investigated by Psychical Researchers. I am wholly impenitent about this. The scientists in question seem to me to confuse the Author of Nature with the Editor of Nature; or at any rate to suppose that there can be no productions of the former which would not be accepted for publication by the latter. And I see no reason to believe this.” BelieveReasonPhilosophyFactsSeemsScienceCertainTakenDoubtSeriousScientistAccountsPhilosophicalRatePhilosopherProductionsAcceptedFormerNo DoubtLatterNo ReasonEditorsPublicationResearchers Author:C.
