Synopsis
The late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are known as the Age of Enlightenment, a time of science and reason. But in this illuminating book, Paul Monod reveals the surprising extent to which Newton, Boyle, Locke, and other giants of rational thought and empiricism also embraced the spiritual, the magical, and the occult. Although public acceptance of occult and magical practices waxed and waned during this period they survived underground, experiencing a considerable revival in the mid-eighteenth century with the rise of new antiestablishment religious denominations. The occult spilled over into politics with the radicalism of the French Revolution and into literature in early Romanticism. Even when official disapproval was at its strongest, the evidence points to a growing audience for occult publications as well as to subversive popular enthusiasm. Ultimately, finds Monod, the occult was not discarded in favor of "reason" but was incorporated into new forms of learning. In that sense, the occult is part of the modern world, not simply a relic of an unenlightened past, and is still with us today.

- 1***l (356)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBook was advertised as in ‘Good’ condition, but is terrible condition after you actually open the book. I reached out to the seller saying that it is unreadable and sent multiple photos of heavy ink underlining on dozens and dozens of pages throughout the book. Ink writing in margins, chapter titles, etc. seller offered a 50% refund and I again responded that the book is unreadable. He stated that was in ‘good’ condition when he sent it, eBay has standards and this book is in poor condition.
