Abstract:
Extraordinary phenomena such as near-death experiences, out-of-body experiences, telepathy, spirit summoning, and precognitive dreams pose significant challenges to materialistic assumptions and empirical methods. This article, adopting an analytical approach and a library-based method, critiques the performance of empiricists in addressing these phenomena. Empiricists often dismiss or undermine the credibility of existing evidence due to the inherent limitations of empirical methods, materialistic assumptions, and scientific bias. This approach has led to many valid findings and observations in the field of extraordinary phenomena being called into question. The present article examines the methodological flaws of this approach, including double standards, focusing on ambiguous aspects, and relying on unproven hypotheses. It argues that the logical acceptance of these phenomena requires setting aside materialistic biases and embracing more comprehensive and impartial approaches. Furthermore, the text emphasizes the necessity of revising current scientific methods and expanding research in this domain to better understand the non-material dimensions of these phenomena.
