Disincantamento

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concept of "disenchantement" and to look for a historical and theoretical reason for its structure. Such a reason is hard to find through a historical-teleological approach, and can be rather found in the modern conceptualization of subjectivity, seen as, in Hegel’s terms, the self-collapsing of the subject. Or, also, it might be searched for in the developement of the history of rationality; as Jacobi thought. The present paper aims at comparing these different interpretations.
