Between fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, the European intellectuals had very strong beliefs about witchcraft. Thinking with Demons: The Idea of Witchcraft in Early Modern Europe by Stuart Clark explains these European beliefs and provides a new interpretation of these beliefs. It is a study of the European intellects showing their beliefs and the relationship with their other beliefs. Also, how these beliefs fit and how far the rationality depends on its historical context. This book is written while considering the previous text on the demonology. There are four sequences of chapters in this book, each describes a new discussion on demonology and general debates on the topic. Not only the this, but the author also tries to be particular and explains the belief in witchcraft with scientific, political, and religious aspects. All these aspects are divided into different categories. It is a reader-friendly book so you will be able to understand the mutually reinforcing and overlapping elements. This book clearly focusses on the beliefs and the contradiction of beliefs focussing European community.
