Anomalistics Faustian Bargain With Goethian Science - EsoterX

Science is a funny old thing. People claim to believe in science, often holding certain figures aloft as prophets, despite science being a tool rather than a philosophy. It's not tool for your hand, like a Phillips screwdriver, but one for your mind. Perched upon its shoulders are the ravens Epistemology and Ontology, which begat the wolves Rationalism and Empiricism. The quartet may appear dangerous to forteana but EsoterX finds these emperors to have no fangs, with a little help from Goethe and Kant but mostly Goethe and a vision of his future doppelgänger scaring the bejeebus outta him. How's that for a swerve? For a deeper exploration of our merry Metaphysics Of The Dunces, Andreas Sommer recommends picking up Jason Josephson-Storm's The Myth of Disenchantment: Magic, Modernity, and the Birth of the Human Sciences. Its not-so-tacit thesis argues the birth of skepticism was not of profound disbelief but genuine belief, and fear of the supernatural and magic-with-a-k. (CS)
