Disenchantment, Mystery, and Certainty

This is the difference between premodern and modern philosophy: the premoderns, following Aristotle, say philosophy begins with wonder; the moderns, following Descartes, say philosophy begins with doubt. One is a search for truth; the other is a search for certainty. A friend asked, "Would it be accurate to say one lives in an enchanted world while the other does not?"   I think so.

During a conference at München in 1917, Max Weber stated: “the fate of our time is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the disenchantment of the world” (2004, p. 30). The original German expression for “The disenchantment of the World” is “die Entzauberung der Welt”, which could be translated as “the elimination of magic from the World” or “the de-magification of the world.”-- Andres Felipe Barrero, "Max Weber on Disenchantment: Is Religion Obsolete?"

I wonder if it might not be better to translate it as "the elimination of mystery from the world."

Josef Pieper wrote, "Things are intelligible because they are created. Things are mysterious because they are created.". A quest for certainty that eliminates mystery ultimately eliminates intelligibility. No wonder we are left with a world where Will is paramount, and intellect (understood in its fullest sense, as ratio/discursive logic and intellectus/intuition) is increasingly eclipsed.
