"We stand at a crossroads in the evolution of Western
consciousness. One fork would lead to salvation through
science and technology -- a Brave New World. The other fork
leads to a reality that allows us to live in harmony with the
environment, and have a sense of intimacy and community."
-- Morris Berman
An underground classic, THE REENCHANTMENT OF THE
WORLD is a provocative look at Western life that analyzes the
causes of our modern dilemma -- a world on the brink of
economic chaos, ecological disaster and personal
disintegration. Drawing on philosophy, history, psychology,
and anthropology, author Morris Berman traces the
destructive distancing of man from nature back to the ideas
of the Scientific Revolutions and challenges the current
supremacy of our own scientific thought.
THE REENCHANTMENT
OF THE WORLD
"...THE BOOK IS NOT JUST ONE MORE TIRED CLICHE ABOUT
THE DISENGHANTMENT OF THE WORLD. INSTEAD, THE
REENCHANTMENT OF THE WORLD IS ABLE TO FIND IN OUR
PRESENT SITUATION THE SEEDS FROM WHICH A REDISCOVERY
AND RENEWED UNDERSTANDING OF OUR ENCHANTED WORLD,
AND OF OURSELVES MAY GROW." -- R.D. Laing
"FASCINATING AND BOUND TO BE ONE OF THE MOST
CONTROVERSIAL BOOKS OF THE YEAR. ITS AIM IS A PROFOUND
ONE. TO BE BOTH A DIAGNOSIS AND A PRESCRIPTION OF OUR
MODERN MALAISE." --Julian Jaynes, author of The Origin of
Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind
"AN INFORMATIVE SYNTHESIS AND A REMARKABLY FRIENDLY,
GOOD-NATURED JEREMIAD." -- The Village Voice
