It discusses psychological interpretations of coincidence, statistical approaches to randomness, and controversial parapsychological experiments that were of interest to Koestler in particular. Rather than arguing for a single conclusion, it presents a range of ideas about whether chance is purely mechanical or whether human perception and underlying patterns might give it additional meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Segoe UI','sans-serif'; color: #1f2124;\"\u003eThis item is second-hand and is sold as is.
