Abstract
The entire edifice of modern civilization rests upon the spirit ofdisenchantment. The entire enterprise of postmodernism is predicated on the reversal ofdisenchantment. This is the great reversal that the West faces today. However, thesechanges do not augur the unfolding of a neo-romantic age, but rather the reinvention ofspirituality in a mass market of fluid identities. In Asia, the structures ofdisenchantment have yet to predominate over the magical cosmos of traditional lore. Thenew middle classes in Asia are struggling to maintain a fac¸ade of disenchantmentwithout fully relinquishing their beliefs in an enchanted universe. The paradox ofdisenchantment in Asia provides a key to understanding re-enchantment in the West.
