These questions regarding the value of magic to thinking are at the very heart of the acclaimed philosopher of science Isabelle Stengers' political and philosophical thought and her insistence that 'the smoke of the burned witches still hangs in our nostrils'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow, in the first English translation of this classic text, \u003ci\u003eHypnosis Between Science and Magic \u003c\/i\u003eprovides an entry point to the work of Isabelle Stengers, who has so originally and forcefully shifted how we think about the history of ideas.
