Recenzii

"Magic has been for too long treated as a residual category rather than a phenomenon with its own significance. This book takes a large step in the path of recovering its ubiquity and bond with the normal."
- Stephen Turner, Distinguished University Professor, University of South Florida
 
"Magic and the Will to Science asks the question whether we live now in an age of magic, with social media, AI, and algorithms dominating our public and private lives. Horvath gets at the root of this subject by examining how science has transformed nature and our understanding of reality, so we no longer control technology but are controlled by it. To return to an authentic and human existence, we first need to understand the reality in which we live. Magic and the Will to Science does an exemplary job of this and points us to a path of recovering a genuine human existence."
- Lee Trepanier, Chair and Professor of Political Science, Samford University
