| Zusammenfassung: | Secular modernity is characterised by a knowledge culture that de-magics nature, and separates science from religion. Magic disrupts the nature/supernature dualism of the modern life-world. This article argues that the modern territorialisation of science from religion can no longer be believed, nor is nature/supernature dualism credible. Hence, the recovery of theology as a public domain activity can also bring natural magic back into our knowledge and power culture. Such a re-introduction, the article argues, is essential if we are to try and deliver ourselves from the crassly materialistic instrumentalism that is de-humanising our political landscapes and destroying the natural world. |
