Discourse on Disenchantment - Reflections on Politics and Technology

This book is the first full-length study of the ongoing debate over the status of our "disenchanted" world-a world stripped of mysterious and supernatural forces by the demythologizing power of reason and modern science. It draws together for the first time the writings of various theorists on this theme, such as Georg Lukacs, Theodor Adorno, and Jürgen Habermas, providing a coherent overview of an evolving dialogue, as well as Germain's own evaluation of the disenchantment problematic.
