520 8  A great many theorists have argued that the defining 
       feature of modernity is that people no longer believe in 
       spirits, myths, or magic. Jason Ā. Josephson-Storm argues 
       that as broad cultural history goes, this narrative is 
       wrong, as attempts to suppress magic have failed more 
       often than they have succeeded. Even the human sciences 
       have been more enchanted than is commonly supposed. But 
       that raises the question: How did a magical, spiritualist,
       mesmerized Europe ever convince itself that it was 
       disenchanted? Josephson-Storm traces the history of the 
       myth of disenchantment in the births of philosophy, 
       anthropology, sociology, folklore, psychoanalysis, and 
       religious studies. Ironically, the myth of mythless 
       modernity formed at the very time that Britain, France, 
       and Germany were in the midst of occult and spiritualist 
       revivals. Indeed, Josephson-Storm argues, these 
       disciplines' founding figures were not only aware of, but 
       profoundly enmeshed in, the occult milieu; and it was 
       specifically in response to this burgeoning culture of 
       spirits and magic that they produced notions of a 
       disenchanted world. By providing a novel history of the 
       human sciences and their connection to esotericism, 'The 
       Myth of Disenchantment' dispatches with most widely held 
       accounts of modernity and its break from the premodern 
       past.
