Reflecting the diversity of his many philosophical preoccupations, this volume is a collection of his most recent critical essays and reviews.

Magic and Modernity is the first book to explore comparatively how magic—usually portrayed as the antithesis of the modern—is also something that is at home in modernity. “Magic” and “modernity” are rarely regarded as belonging together. Evolutionism regarded magic as quintessentially “unmodern.” Although psychologists and romantic artists have sometimes declared magic to be a human universal, few modern scholars in the humanities and social sciences have studied how modern culture and institutions incorporated and even produced magic. This book is the first to adopt a comparat

This volume deals with secrecy and concealment in the history of mediterranean religions as pattern of social interaction. Secrecy is a powerful means in establishing identity and interaction as G. Simmel has demonstrated. Using his approach the scholars of this volume describe and explain the practical meaning of concealment in two different religious systems: in Egyptian and Greek polytheism and in Jewish, Christian, Gnostic and Shi’i monotheisms. This point of view reveals that all these religions shaped social norms concerning public and private aspects of the
