But in this illuminating book, Paul Monod reveals the surprising extent to which Newton, Boyle, Locke, and other giants of rational thought and empiricism also embraced the spiritual, the magical, and the occult. Although public acceptance of occult and magical practices waxed and waned during this period they survived underground, experiencing a considerable revival in the mid-eighteenth century with the rise of new antiestablishment religious denominations. The occult spilled over into politics with the radicalism of the French Revolution and into literature in early Romanticism. Even when official disapproval was at its strongest, the evidence points to a growing audience for occult publications as well as to subversive popular enthusiasm. Ultimately, finds Monod, the occult was not discarded in favor of "reason" but was incorporated into new forms of learning. In that sense, the occult is part of the modern world, not simply a relic of an unenlightened past, and is still with us today. 606 $aAlchemy 606 $aEnlightenment 606 $aMagic 606 $aOccult sciences 606 $aScience$xHistory$xMiscellanea 615 0$aAlchemy. 615 0$aEnlightenment. 615 0$aMagic. 615 0$aOccult sciences. 615 0$aScience$xHistory$xMiscellanea. 676 $a130.9 686 $aHIS037040$aPHI016000$aHIS015000$aOCC016000$2bisacsh 700 $aMonod$b Paul Kleber$01031441 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809746303321 996 $aSolomon's secret arts$94102265 997 $aUNINA
