As Bennett describes it, enchantment is a sense of openness to the unusual, the captivating, and the disturbing in everyday life. It is a commonplace that the modern world cannot be experienced as enchanted -- that the very concept of enchantment belongs to past ages of superstition. Jane Bennett challenges that view. She seeks to rehabilitate enchantment, showing not only how it is still possible to experience genuine wonder, but how such experience is crucial to motivating ethical behavior. A creative blend of political theory, philosophy, and literary studies, this book is a powerful and innovative contribution to an emerging interdisciplinary conversation about the deep connections between ethics, aesthetics, and politics.
