The challenge to «
horizontal enchantment» from people like Taylor and MacIntyre, if I may audaciously attempt to boil it down to one paragraph, is this: At the root of horizontal culture (the modern world of democratic republics and entrepreneurial economies) is the claim that people can and should Reform the world.
This horizontal enchantment sets the stage for the global Pentecostal movement and the continuation of the porous self.
Horizontal enchantment begins with an understanding of the relationship between nature and supernature that is different from the one presupposed in Taylor and MacIntyre.
