I was wondering whether to bring up Ian Stevenson (and his collaborators and successors, including Jim Tucker) and had decided not to, but now that his name has been mentioned, I feel it must be said in the interest of fairness that there is no consensus opinion that his work was flawed (and I personally consider it hugely impressive). But this is a very ideologized topic, as others have pointed out (pace Dominik). As philosopher Stephen Braude put it when describing his interest in so-called paranormal phenomena (a misnomer, in my view): I had enough sense to put it all aside until I completed my Ph.D., landed a teaching job, did some respectable mainstream philosophy, and earned tenure. (I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid.)

Although not relating to Indology, and only indirectly to reincarnation, the 800-page Irreducible Mind (eds. Kelly & Kelly et al., 2008) may be found relevant by list members interested in the philosophical (and empirical) issues at stake here.

Best wishes,
