Ethics & moral philosophy

Paperback. It is a commonplace that the modern world cannot be experienced as enchanted - that the very concept of enchantment belongs to past ages of superstition. This title challenges that view. It seeks to rehabilitate enchantment, showing not only how it is possible to experience wonder, but how such experience is crucial to motivating ethical behavior.
