In the 17th century, the establishment of the paradigms of Descartes and Newton stripped the world of magic. A modern world formed through monetary capitalism and rational scientific thought. Magic had been replaced by science. Yet to recover the powerful knowledge that faded during scientific reorganization, now is precisely the time for a “re-enchantment of the world”! The long-awaited reissue of an intellectual adventure that rebelled against the Cartesian paradigm, carried the atmosphere of 1960s counterculture, and explored the path toward “re-enchantment of the world”! One clue reached after traversing the mountains of occult studies was Gregory Bateson. Facing the emergence of robotics, androids, and a VR-like real world, this is a book that should be reread now. #word
