  "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
