Edward F. Kelly

Edward F. Kelly is a respected researcher in the field of consciousness studies and parapsychology.

As the lead author of Irreducible Mind, he draws on his extensive background in cognitive sciences and psychical research.

Kelly is associated with the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia, known for its investigations into phenomena that challenge conventional materialist views of consciousness.

His work builds upon the theories of early psychologists like F.W.H. Myers and William James, advocating for a more expansive view of human consciousness that incorporates both normal and extraordinary mental experiences.

Kelly's approach combines rigorous scientific methodology with an openness to exploring phenomena often marginalized by mainstream psychology.
