This presentation is an early look at my new book, The Incredible Afterlives of Dr. Stevenson: One Scientist's Epic Quest for Evidence of Reincarnation, Apparitions, Poltergeists, and Other Matters of the Soul (University of Chicago Press, 2026). It is the story of the late Dr. Ian Stevenson, Head of Neurology and Psychiatry at the University of Virginia, who in the 1960s shocked his fellow “orthodox scientists” when he became a fulltime parapsychologist. Whereas my own research in the cognitive science of religion centers on the question “how do we think about the minds of the dead?” Stevenson was preoccupied with the question “do the dead think?” In this talk, I will attempt to reconcile our scientific journeys.
