Description

This text shows people how to rationally assess the most perplexing and engrained beliefs about the paranormal, supernatural, and mysterious. Its central premise is that well-founded beliefs of any kind require good reasons, that sorting good reasons from bad is possible (even in the realm of the mysterious), and that learning this skill is both useful and empowering. The book demonstrates step by step how to apply principles of critical thinking to countless extraordinary claims, and shows why the principles themselves are valid; it is essentially a work of applied epistemology.
