This work of 'systematic parapsychology' aims to construct a framework and system of parapsychology, taking a comprehensive approach to the field. The book states that parapsychology has a different philosophical background from the existing science and religions, and posits that pantheism could be the theoretical basis of parapsychology.

Focus is on the major figures in the field: Richard Hodgson, James H. Hyslop, William McDougall, Walter F. Prince, J.B. Rhine, Louisa E. Rhine, J.G. Pratt, Gardner Murphy, and Laura Dale. Also included are summaries of the careers and work of 25 present-day parapsychologists, and autobiographies of Gertrude R. Schmeidler and Montague Ullman.
