    The Paranormal: African Philosophy questions Science
    (Legon Journal of the Humanities (20): 23–44, 2010) Ajei, M.O.
    : Modern science and its underlying philosophical doctrine, physicalism, have persistently denied reality and the rationality of belief in a set of phenomena they refer to as “paranormal”. However, belief in the occurrence of these events is commonly and strongly held by many persons in several cultures. This essay examines the question of the rationality of these beliefs and advances the view proceeding from its own current theories and methodologies, science will refute itself by sustaining the denial the reality of the paranormal, or it can maintain the denial by irrational dogma.
