    Funny that you should mention Max Weber and the issue of ‘Disenchantment’ which goes along with the dominance of the mechanistic formalism, Sjahari. I am currently reading a great book about this whole issue by Roderick Main which you can find at this link…

    The author proposes a recurrent sequence of ‘Enchantment-Disenchantment-Reenchantment’ emphasizing the current need for a process of moving from the Disenchantment of mechanistic scientism to the Reenchantment of a new relational biomedical science that involves integrating and transcending the mechanistic formalism for modeling living beings.
