Paranormal: Investigations Without Prejudices
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Paranormal research is not a branch of study meant to establish the conventional logic or scientific validity of a phenomenon. Resolving someone's fear is not the objective of paranormal studies. A true paranormal researcher is neither a dogmatic rationalist nor a person burdened with preconceived notions. If phenomena or events exist that cannot be measured by conventional logic or explained through current scientific frameworks, the primary objective is to identify, discover, document, and study them. Such systematic endeavors may be defined as Paranormalism. Keywords: Paranormalism, Paranormal Research, Epistemology, Non-Dogmatic Inquiry, Absolute Rationalism, Scientific Prejudices, Unmapped Phenomena, Methodology of Consciousness, Epistemological Boundaries.
