許多學者認為，現代社會已脫離神祕與魔法的信仰，但歷史學者傑森・約瑟夫森・史東指出，這種說法並不正確。透過對哲學、人類學、社會學、精神分析與宗教研究等學科起源的梳理，他揭示：在所謂「去魅」發生的同時，歐洲社會實際上正經歷一場神秘學與靈性復興。這本書不僅重構人文科學與神秘思想的關聯，也顛覆我們對「現代化」與「理性時代」的既定認知，適合關注思想史、宗教與文化研究的讀者深入探討。A great many theorists have argued that the defining feature of modernity is that people no longer believe in spirits, myths, or magic. Jason A. Josephson-Storm argues that as broad cultural history goes, this narrative is wrong, as attempts to suppress magic have failed more often than they have succeeded. Even the human sciences have been more enchanted than is commonly supposed. But that raises the question: How did a magical, spiritualist, mesmerized Europe ever convince itself that it was disenchanted?Josephson-Storm traces the history of the myth of disenchantment in the births of philosophy, anthropology, sociology, folklore, psychoanalysis, and religious studies. Ironically, the myth of mythless modernity formed at the very time that Britain, France, and Germany were in the midst of occult and

Basic Czech I, II, and III form a complete textbook for a course for English-language speakers who want to learn Czech. Basic Czech II is structured similarly, but it moves students from beginning to intermediate work, gradually delving into more complicated issues of grammar and usage. It includes a compact disc that features audio exercises built around texts and dialogues that the student will have learned in the first volume.
