"Magic has been for too long treated as a residual category rather than a phenomenon with its own significance. This book takes a large step in the path of recovering its ubiquity and bond with the normal."- Stephen Turner, Distinguished University Professor, University of South Florida
"Magic and the Will to Science asks the question whether we live now in an age of magic, with social media, AI, and algorithms dominating our public and private lives. Horvath gets at the root of this subject by examining how science has transformed nature and our understanding of reality, so we no longer control technology but are controlled by it. To return to an authentic and human existence, we first need to understand the reality in which we live. Magic and the Will to Science does an exemplary job of this and points us to a path of recovering a genuine human existence."
- Lee Trepanier, Chair and Professor of Political Science, Samford University

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
