However, according to the formula of Marcel Gauchet, even Faustian modernity leads to the dominance of quantity, to ‘the Disenchantment of the World.’[206] Modern man, born into liberalism, individualism, and democracy, is the new Sorcerer’s Apprentice: the hostage of an economic technological mechanism, created by him but now entirely beyond his control: a mechanism without soul, vision, goal, guidance: one which governs itself exclusively in accordance with its own growth and self-perpetuation, indifferent to human conditions.

Such is the fate of the Faustian spirit when separated from its founding myths. Torn away from such myths, its ethno-identitarian soil, its Indo-European matrix — conquering rationality succumbs to a petty, calculating rationalism, and to the dull ideology of ‘meta-narratives,’ or ‘grand narratives’: Progress, Enlightenment, Emancipation, Marxism.[207]
