Few forces in the world are as potent as religion: it comforts people in their suffering and inspires them to both magnificent and terrible deeds. In this provocative and timely book, Daniel C. Dennett seeks to uncover the origins of religion and discusses how and why different faiths have shaped so many lives, whether religion is an addiction or a genuine human need, and even whether it is good for our health. Arguing passionately for the need to understand this multifaceted phenomenon, Breaking the Spell offers a truly original – and comprehensive – explanation for faith.

The New York Times bestseller – a “crystal-clear, constantly engaging” (Jared Diamond) exploration of the role that religious belief plays in our lives and our interactions For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why—and how—it has shaped so many lives so strongly. Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma. Not an antireligious screed but an unblinking look beneath the veil of orthodoxy, Breaking the Spell will be read and debated by believers and skeptics alike.

ÒBanyak di antara kita telah mencurahkan waktu dan energi untuk menengok argumen yang mendukung maupun menentang keberadaan Tuhan. Namun, tidak demikian dengan saya. Saya memutuskan beberapa waktu yang lalu bahwa ada semacam hasil lebih yang terus berkurang (diminishing returns) dalam perdebatan soal keberadaan Tuhan; saya juga meragukan adanya terobosan yang ditawarkan oleh kedua belah pihak. Di samping itu, banyak orang-orang yang mendalami agama bersikeras bahwa semua argumenÑdari kedua belah pihakÑtidak paham akan tujuan agama; dan keengganan mereka untuk berdebat meyakinkan saya akan ketulusan mereka. Baiklah. Lalu, apakah tujuan agama? Fenomena atau serangkaian fenomena macam apakah ini, sampai bisa begitu berarti bagi begitu banyak orang? MengapaÑdan bagaimanaÑfenomena atau serangkaian fenomena ini bisa begitu dipatuhi, dan mengatur kehidupan banyak orang? Itulah pertanyaan utama yang akan saya jawab dalam buku ini.Ó ÒBagaimanakah seorang pengunjung dari Mars akan dengan tenangnya menjelaskan agama manusia?...Dugaan saya, hasilnya kira-kira akan seperti buku baru ini, yang jernih, dan dari awal sampai akhir memikat serta nikmat.Ó ĞJared Diamond, peraih penghargaan Pulitzer Prize; penulis Guns, Germs, and Steel, Collapse, dan The World Until Yesterday.

Breaking the Spell: An Exploration of Human Perception examines how people have become largely disconnected from a living, energetic universe through social conditioning. Over generations humanity has lost much of its creative spirit, imagination, and perceptual faculties. In this book the author addresses how we should 'break the spell' of our conditioned perceptions and learn to manage and develop our emotional, mental, and physical energies. Through such chapters as Managing One's Energy, Being Vigilant, and Stepping Away, the author explains in very simple language the necessity for each person to regain their focus, inner calm, and to observe the chaotic impacts that surround them. The author also discusses how a person can refine their perceptions through inner intent. The book also contains an inspiring collection of thoughts; and an Appendix on the misunderstandings of modern day spirituality. In these distracting times it is imperative that each person learns to empower themselves by learning to harness and develop their personal energies. This timely book explains just how to 'break the spell' of our hypnotic world.

Breaking the Spell offers the first full-length study that charts the historical trajectory of anarchist-inflected video activism from the late 1960s to the present. Two predominant trends emerge from this social movement-based video activism: 1) anarchist-inflected processes increasingly structure its production, distribution, and exhibition practices; and 2) video does not simply represent collective actions and events, but also serves as a form of activist practice in and of itself from the moment of recording to its later distribution and exhibition. Video plays an increasingly important role among activists in the growing global resistance against neoliberal capitalism. As various radical theorists have pointed out, subjectivity itself becomes a key terrain of struggle as capitalism increasingly structures and mines it through social media sites, cell phone technology, and new “flexible” work and living patterns. As a result, alternative media production becomes a central location where new collective forms of subjectivity can be created to challenge aspects of neoliberalism. Chris Robé’s book fills in historical gaps by bringing to light unexplored video activist groups like the Cascadia Forest Defenders, eco-video activists from Eugene, Oregon; Mobile Voices, Latino day laborers harnessing cell phone technology to combat racism and police harassment in Los Angeles; and Outta Your Backpack Media, indigenous youth from the Southwest who use video to celebrate their culture and fight against marginalization. This groundbreaking study also deepens our understanding of more well-researched movements like AIDS video activism, Paper Tiger Television, and Indymedia by situating them within a longer history and wider context of radical video activism.

This text explores, in both historical and critical contexts, the evolution of folk tales and fairy tales, their influence on popular beliefs, the politics behind them and their incorporation in mass media culture today. It focuses particularly on socio-historical forces which have changed the function of fairy tales since the 1700s.
