“Psychology and philosophy were divorced some time ago, but like other divorced couples they still have problems in common.”

“Why do we not accept ESP as a psychological fact? Rhine has offered enough evidence to have convinced us on almost any other issue... Personally, I do not accept ESP for a moment, because it does not make sense. My external criteria, both of physics and of physiology, say that ESP is not a fact despite the behavioral evidence that has been reported. I cannot see what other basis my colleagues have for rejecting it... Rhine may still turn out to be right, improbable as I think that is, and my own rejection of his view is - in the literal sense - prejudice.”

“Thus also, T. S. Kuhn (1962): “I am, for example, acutely aware of the difficulties created by saying that when Aristotle and Galileo looked at swinging stones, the one saw constrained fall, the second a pendulum” (p.220). But the difficulties are verbal. The sensations were in principle the same, the perceptions differed. As the ambiguous figure shows, the same sensations may give rise to different perceptions. Perception is a cortical process, a first stage of thought, and consequently interpretive; both Aristotle and Galileo saw the same thing—swinging stones—but in effect thought about it differently, which should surprise no one.”
