Description
In an era marked by the rise of science and skepticism, how did early modern Europe reconcile seemingly impossible events with its burgeoning rationalism? Carlos Eire delves into a fascinating period where tales of levitation, bilocation, and witchcraft coexisted with intellectual revolutions, revealing how these phenomena were deeply woven into the fabric of daily life. Through compelling case studies of saints and accused witches, this work challenges our understanding of the boundaries between the natural and supernatural, urging us to consider how cultural contexts shape our perception of reality. It masterfully explores the enduring questions about the limits of empirical observation and the persistent presence of the inexplicable in human experience.
