The Place of Magic in the Intellectual History of Europe
1905
The Place of Magic in the Intellectual History of Europe, published in 1905 by Lynn Thorndike, is a scholarly examination of the historical beliefs in magic, including witchcraft and astrology, and their influence on early scientific thought in Europe. Thorndike argues that these beliefs were widely accepted by educated individuals throughout history, challenging the notion that magic was solely a belief of the uneducated. The work highlights the integration of magical elements in the writings of notable figures like Dante and Aquinas, illustrating the complex relationship between magic, science, and philosophy from the medieval period to the early modern era.
