The Re-enchantment of the World

The Re-enchantment of the World refers to a growing sense of wonder and spiritual significance in life, countering the modern view of the world as purely mechanical and rational. It emphasizes reconnecting with the sacred, symbolic, and mysterious aspects of existence—such as nature, art, and community—that inspire meaning beyond scientific understanding. This shift encourages people to see the world as alive and filled with deeper significance, fostering a sense of awe, spirituality, and purpose in everyday life. It’s a movement toward restoring a sense of wonder that many feel has been lost in modern, secularized societies.
