Foundations in the Study of Magic, Part 8: Enlightenment

In Part 8 of the Foundation of Magic Series you will learn about how print culture, secret societies, a new scientific worldview and the birth of the knowledge economy shaped the birth of a modern magical worldview.   In section 2, I introduce important technologies that made modern print culture possible. In section 3, I discuss secret societies to gain insight into the societal contexts of the Enlightenment. In Section  4, I outline some of the theoretical implications  of studying magic during the enlightenment period.  And In part 5 we analyse all these themes in light of a case study of the first modern commercial cunning man, Francis Barrett.
