In his essay "A Few Kind Words for Superstition" Robertson
Davies not only asserts that the society is currently in middle of renaissance of the
irrational but he also gives many examples many widespread popularity of irrational
beliefs and superstitious practices. Some of these things pointed out by him are the
widespread interest and beliefs of people in objects, practices, and subjects such as
parapsychology, UFOs, miracle cures, transcendental meditation and paths to instant
enlightenment.
