Prophecy in Our Time
by Martin Ebon
|
 |
The subject of this book, prophecy in our time, is part of an area of long-standing interest to author Martin Ebon: the psychology of public affairs. But what, exactly, is prophecy? How does its meaning compare to that of precognition, foreknowledge, forecasting, anticipation, and related concepts? Prophecy, a highly subjective experience, is too much in flux, too alive, for rigid categorization. The author has sought to avoid a dogmatic definition of the subject matter, thus gaining freedom to select and explore.
Taking advantage of this freedom, the author has included prophetic efforts in modern economics, because forecasting techniques in this field are closer to traditional oracular methods than is commonly realized. On the other hand, the author has refrained from detailing treatment of current debates on the philosophy and psychology of time, mathematical-statistical theories of probability, and the deeper psychodynamics of individual prophetic experiences; these subjects demand special interest on the part of the reader.
