Pełny opis

This book focuses on magic as a subject of study, exploring the process of its creation as a cultural symbol, its interaction with structures of power, and the reconstruction of its meaning in contemporary society through interdisciplinary approaches from history, anthropology, sociology, and postcolonial theory. The study found that the definition of magic is constantly changing as a result of dynamic power struggles, serving as a tool for dominant cultures to establish the "other" as well as a spiritual weapon for marginalized groups to resist alienation. The resurgence of modern mysticism reveals the limitations of the rationalist paradigm, prompting a reconsideration of cognitive systems beyond science and religion.
