New Harry Potter book

[Doug Millison]

The popularity of Harry Potter books among adults has also been used, 
by some observers, as an example of an emerging worldview that 
includes magic -- the sort of thing, perhaps, that withdrew in the 
face of the Enlightment project that Pynchon portrays in all its 
unsettling ambiguity in M&D.  Whether this emerging worldview would 
represent what Wilber might call a retreat to the pre-rational or 
part of the ongoing evolution towards the trans-rational, remains to 
be seen. The idea that magic is alive in the world only hidden 
resonates deeply no matter how the philosophers pick it apart.
