Document Details : Title: Hoeveel onttovering verdraagt de mens? Subtitle: Over Hans Jonas' Die Macht des Heiligen: eine alternative zur Geschichte der Entzauberung Author(s): VAN DER WULP, Dirk Journal: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie Volume: 82 Issue: 4 Date: 2020 Pages: 727-752 DOI: 10.2143/TVF.82.4.3289184 Abstract : This article contains a summary and philosophical evaluation of Die Macht des Heiligen, a recent book by Hans Joas, a German sociologist. In this book Joas attacks the well-known Weberian notion of the disenchantment of the world and tries to present a better alternative to understand modern Western society. He therefore uses the concept of self-sacralization. My thesis in this article is however that the notion of disenchantment still has value in our understanding of the modern world. |
