Book Synopsis Magic Science Religion by : Ira Livingston

Download or read book Magic Science Religion written by Ira Livingston and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic Science Religion explores surprising intersections among the three meaning-making and world-making practices named in the title. Through colorful examples, the book reveals circuitous ways that social, cultural and natural systems connect, enabling real kinds of magic to operate. Among the many case studies are accounts of how an eighteenth-century actor gave his audience goosebumps; how painters, poets, and pool sharks use nonlinearity in working their magics; how the first vertebrates gained consciousness; how plants fine-tuned human color vision; and the necessarily magical element of activism that builds on the conviction that "another future is possible" while working to push self-fulfilling prophecy into political action.
