Book Synopsis The Disenchantment of the World by : Marcel Gauchet
Book excerpt: This text reinterprets the modern West's development in terms of mankind's relationship to religion. It argues that the development of human political and psychological autonomy must be understood against the growth of the concept of divine power and its increasing distance from human activity.
