Is the Occult Fact or Faith? with Colin Wilson and Dr Christopher Evans
In this series specially invited interviewers cross-question guests of their own choice on crucial spiritual issues.
COLIN WILSON , writer, and DR CHRISTOPHER EVANS , research psychologist, are old friends. But their beliefs are very different. WILSON is the author of The Occult. He believes that we possess, and are surrounded by, hidden powers which established science refuses to acknowledge, and that we now need a new kind of science which will help us to get in touch with this world of the occult, DR EVANS has written a book called Cults of Unreason. He attacks such beliefs as Wilson's as muddled and misguided and says the scientific method still offers the best path to an understanding of ourselves and the universe.
Tonight he questions Colin Wilson about his views, and asks: are they really based on fact, or are they just a matter of faith?
