It is quite common among writers on psychical research after discussing precognition, to refer to the nothingness of time and allude to religious mysticism. This seems to me wholly irrelevant and I think it is part of the philosopher's job to point out that it is so. In other words it is a philosophical task to assign human enquiries to their proper type and point out their affinities. For historical reasons psychical research has been much "mixed up" with religion, but it seems to me that its affinities are with the empirical sciences, not with theology or religion. And this, whether right or wrong, is a philosophical remark.
