Enchantment, Magic, & Supernatural Technologies w/ Historian Dr. Francis Young
"Is magic real? Does magic work?"
"It's a question that is worth asking."
"The world is full of spirits."
Enchantment is fast entering the mainstream conversation. More people doubt mechanical materialism; there is something out there. Scholars, however, have hesitated. Stories of flying friars and encounters with spirits are considered as more than a cultural myth but as testimonies to reality. What is the history of enchantment? What about magic and religion? How might scholars view history with new eyes? Charles sits down with Dr. Francis Young, historian and author, to reflect on these questions and others.
