The Myth of Disenchantment: Magic, Modernity, and the Birth of the Human Sciences is a 2017 book by Jason Josephson Storm, professor of religion at Williams College. The book challenges mainstream sociological conceptions of disenchantment on both empirical and theoretical grounds.
For this reason, Storm argues, accounts of disenchantment derived from the work of these figures may need to be revised. In The Myth of Disenchantment and other academic articles, Storm also argued for a close connection between Western esotericism and the origin of religious studies as a discipline. [15] [3]: ch. 4
