Jibu Mathew George offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the source and dynamics of religious ideation upon which belief and faith are based, at the fundamental levels of human reasoning. Using Max Weber's concept of 'Disenchantment of the world' as a point of departure, this book endeavors to provide a pioneering philosophical and psychological understanding of the nature of enchantment, disenchantment, and possible re-enchantments as they pertain to the occidental cultural history in Weberian retrospect. 650 0 $a Ontology. 650 0 $a God $x Proof. 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102015758.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43EED16AC38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
