Description
Some New World Myths of Supernatural Belief in a Secular Age by Peter Harrison is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between supernatural belief and modern culture. The author challenges common misconceptions about secular modernity, arguing that our understanding of 'naturalism' and 'supernaturalism' is a relatively recent phenomenon. By examining historical developments in Western culture, Harrison reveals how our perceptions of the world have shifted over time. This book offers a fresh perspective on the nature of belief and its place in contemporary society, making it an engaging read for anyone interested in philosophy, epistemology, or the history of religion.
