This book both introduces the philosophy of science through examination of the occult and examines the occult rigorously enough to raise central issues in the philosophy of science. Placed in the context of the occult, philosophy of science issues become immediately understandable and forcefully compelling. Divergent views on astrology, parapsychology, and quantum mechanics mysticism emphasize topics standard to the philosophy of science. Such issues as confirmation and selection for testing, causality and time, explanation and the nature of scientific laws, the status of theoretical entities,

"This is a delightful introduction to the philosophical research tool hiding underneath your word processor." -- Brian Skyrms, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of California, Irvine Philosophical modeling is as old as philosophy itself; examples range from Plato’s Cave and the Divided Line to Rawls’s original position. What is new are the astounding computational resources now available for philosophical modeling. Although the computer cannot offer a substitute for philosophical research, it can offer an important new environment for philosophical researc
