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. 650 0 Science and magic.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118619 650 0 Philosophy, Modern.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100960 650 0 Myth.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85089365 650 0 Magic|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2008107180 650 0 Science|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85118582 650 7 Science and magic.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1108531 650 7 Philosophy, Modern.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1061071 650 7 Myth.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1031678 650 7 Magic.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1005468 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Science|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1108336 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 901 MARCIVE 20231220 948 |d20181012|cLTI|tlti-aup183 948 |d20180926|clti|tlti-aex 994 C0|bRID
