Enchantment

Enchantment is a profound human potential. When we experience wonder, awe, or amazement, it is enchantment. Enchantment can reveal profound truths, lead to deeper values, and become central to a life well lived. 

This unique book explores how enchantment plays out in a wide range of contexts—in love, art, religion, and learning;, in food and drink; and, perhaps most significant, in our relationship with the natural world and others. 

Patrick Curry argues that modernist attempts to undermine or dismiss enchantment as a delusion not only misguide, but are also dangerous, possibly leading to disengagement from our world, which could have disastrous consequences for our potential future on Earth.
