The ReEnchantment of the World is an interdisciplinary volume that challenges the longprevailing view of modernity as 'disenchanted.' There is of course something to the widespread idea, so memorably put into words by Max Weber, that modernity is characterized by the 'progressive disenchantment of the world.' Yet what is less often recognized is the fact that a powerful countertendency runs alongside this one, an overwhelming urge to fill the vacuum left by departed convictions, and to do so without invoking superseded belief systems. In fact, modernity produces an array of strategies for reenchantment, each fully compatible with secular rationality. It has to, because God has many 'aspects'or to put it in more secular terms, because traditional religion offers so much in so many domains. From one thinker to the next, the question of just what, in religious enchantment, needs to be replaced in a secular world receives an entirely different answer. Now, for the first time, many of these strategies are laid out in a single volume, with contributions by specialists in literature, history, and philosophy.
