Comment comprendre les métamorphoses et les formes actuelles de la croyance ? Pourquoi certaines croyances se diffusent-elles rapidement dans l'opinion publique et d'autres non ? Quels sont les contextes sociaux qui favorisent l'émergence des croyances ? Ce livre propose plusieurs réponses à partir de divers exemples décrivant les logiques qui sous-tendent nos adhésions cognitives et les phénomènes collectifs qui les favorisent. L'ouvrage théorise également l'idée que l'empire des croyances se distingue en grande partie de la déraison.

Cagliostros Tun war privilegiertes Thema der aufkeimenden Massenmedien der Aufklärung. Als historischer Akteur hat der Arzt und Alchemist wenig Kontur. Die Urteile schwanken zwischen Scharlatan und Prophet. Dass er eigene Arzneien hatte, ist bekannt. Die wenigen veröffentlichten Rezepte werden in der Pharmaziegeschichte als Inbegriff für Geheimmittel gehandelt – das waren Eigenpräparate bekannter Ärzte. Von einer Rezeptsammlung, die im Basler Staatsarchiv aufbewahrt wird, konnten etliche Stücke Cagliostro zugeschrieben werden. Diese Formeln ermöglichen es, von seiner Pharmakopöe zu sprechen und sie der pharmaziehistorischen Analyse zu unterziehen. 13 Rezepte sind hier ediert. Ihre Bewertung kann dazu beitragen, ein differenzierteres Bild einer der umstrittensten Figuren der europäischen Geschichte zu zeichnen.

Since its inception in the nineteenth century, the genre of Anglo-Saxon charms has drawn the attention of many scholars and appealed to enthusiasts of magic, paganism, and popular religion. Their Christian nature has been widely acknowledged in recent years, but their position within mainstream liturgical traditions has not yet been fully recognised. In this book, Ciaran Arthur undertakes a wide-ranging investigation of the genre to better understand how early English ecclesiastics perceived these rituals and why they included them in manuscripts were written in high-status minsters. Evidence from the entire corpus of Old English, various surviving manuscript sources, and rich Christian theological traditions suggests that contemporary scribes and compilers did not perceive "charms" as anything other than Christian rituals that belonged to diverse, mainstream liturgical practices. The book thus challenges the notion that there was any such thing as an Anglo-Saxon "charm", and offers alternative interpretations of these texts as creative para-liturgical rituals or liturgical rites, which testify to the diversity of early medieval English Christianity. When considered in their contemporary ecclesiastical and philosophical contexts, even the most enigmatic rituals, previously dismissed as mere "gibberish", begin to emerge as secret, deliberately obscured texts with hidden spiritual meaning. Ciaran Arthur is a Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast.

What do the occult sciences, séances with the souls of the dead, and appeals to saintly powers have to do with rationality? Since the late nineteenth century, modernizing intellectuals, religious leaders, and statesmen in Iran have attempted to curtail many such practices as "superstitious," instead encouraging the development of rational religious sensibilities and dispositions. However, far from diminishing the diverse methods through which Iranians engage with the immaterial realm, these rationalizing processes have multiplied the possibilities for metaphysical experimentation. The Iranian Metaphysicals examines these experiments and their transformations over the past century. Drawing on years of ethnographic and archival research, Alireza Doostdar shows that metaphysical experimentation lies at the center of some of the most influential intellectual and religious movements in modern Iran. These forms of exploration have not only produced a plurality of rational orientations toward metaphysical phenomena but have also fundamentally shaped what is understood as orthodox Shi'i Islam, including the forms of Islamic rationality at the heart of projects for building and sustaining an Islamic Republic. Delving into frequently neglected aspects of Iranian spirituality, politics, and intellectual inquiry, The Iranian Metaphysicals challenges widely held assumptions about Islam, rationality, and the relationship between science and religion.
