Magic
About the eBook
Magic is an ancient and modern concept at the same time, as it draws the attention of scientists, artists and historians since ancient times, and continues to arouse curiosity and imagination in our time. It is not just a historical phenomenon, a product of ignorance, or a stage of intellectual development, but rather an integral part of culture and humanity. Magic expresses a person's desire to understand and control the world through hidden and mysterious powers, and provides him with space for imagination, experimentation and escape. Although science has denied the basis of magic as an explanation for natural phenomena, it was unable to cancel it or end it, magic is still alive and present in various areas of life. This book from the series "Literary Views" provides us with a brief and enjoyable view of the concept of magic, its practice and its impact on art, culture and society, and shows us how we can understand this deep and complex concept in the light of the modern era.
