Against Disenchantment
Bloody hell, that was one of the most uselessly long-winded essays I&#x27;ve ever read!  Do you actually expect to find any fairies, gods, ghosts, successful sorcerers, etc, or not?  Worse, the basic question is never even posed: why should we tie our conception of society and our meaning-making capacities, as applied to our own lives, to belief or disbelief in the supernatural?<p>After all, if the &quot;supernatural&quot; existed, it would just be <i>more natural</i>, more <i>stuff with causal powers</i>, which would therefore be intrinsically tied into the rest of the causal order of things.
