Résumé
Social sciences have each in its own way explored the forms and reasons of the persisting magic-religious behaviours and ideologies challenging modernity, but they still have to consider systematically the epistemological implications of «magic powers» and of the «reality» by which these behaviours and ideologies are legitimized. The so-called extra-sensorial phenomena and the paranormal faculties that often accompany a magical Weltanschauung still represent a challenge to the scientist’s epistemological frame of reference as well as an excellent test-bench for a critical reconsideration of categories like «magic», «reality», «experience», etc. Such theoretical issues have been already dealt with by the Italian researcher Ernesto de Martino in a seminal essay (1948) which, far from being outdated, is likely to help us reconsider our understanding of the «magic world»: not only belief and ideology, but the experience of nature, are conditioned by history and culture.
