Western Esotericism: History & Scholarship

The Reenchantment of the World

by Morris Berman

A critique of the mechanistic worldview of the Scientific Revolution and a plea for a participatory, holistic consciousness. Berman discusses alchemy, Gregory Bateson's systems thinking and the costs of disenchantment, and the book became a touchstone of holistic thought.
