The study found that the definition of magic is constantly changing as a result of dynamic power struggles, serving as a tool for dominant cultures to establish the \"other\" as well as a spiritual weapon for marginalized groups to resist alienation. The resurgence of modern mysticism reveals the limitations of the rationalist paradigm, prompting a reconsideration of cognitive systems beyond science and religion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Our Knowledge Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889778147479,"sku":"9786630019513","price":9629.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786630019513.webp?v=1781177714","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/magic-an-interdisciplinary-historical-and-discursive-analysis-9786630019513","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
