The author of the classic books Altered States of Consciousness and Transpersonal Psychologies presents a selection of articles which provide scientific evidence for the existence of spiritual dimensions. There has long been a struggle between science and spirituality that has led to enormous amounts of unnecessary suffering, with scientists claiming no evidence for the existence of a soul, for example, while those of a spiritual inclination criticize scientists for having too narrow a view. In Body Mind Spirit, Charles Tart, orchestrates a series of essays which provide scientific evidence for the existence of the spiritual and show how real science (as opposed to dismissive scientism) could help us increase our understanding of what is real and essential versus what is outmoded doctrine in the area of spirituality. 256 pages.
