Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2008, an international conference on the history of alchemy was held at El Escorial, close to the ancient location of the distilling houses operating under royal patronage during the second half of the 16th century. The present book consists of a selection of the papers presented then, shedding light on little-studied medieval and early modern texts, important alchemical doctrines such as medieval corpuscularianism, early modern spiritus mundi or the function of salt within chymical principles, and discussing such prominent figures as Paracelsus, Isaac Hollandus, Michael Sendivogius, Fontenelle or G. E. Stahl. Last but not least, the book offers new insights on the most recent history of Spanish alchemy.

Download or read book Cartesian Empiricisms written by Mihnea Dobre and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cartesian Empiricisms considers the role Cartesians played in the acceptance of experiment in natural philosophy during the seventeenth century. It aims to correct a partial image of Cartesian philosophers as paradigmatic system builders who failed to meet challenges posed by the new science’s innovative methods. Studies in this volume argue that far from being strangers to experiment, many Cartesians used and integrated it into their natural philosophies. Chapter 1 reviews the historiographies of early modern philosophy, science, and Cartesianism and their recent critiques. The first part of the volume explores various Cartesian contexts of experiment: the impact of French condemnations of Cartesian philosophy in the second half of the seventeenth century; the relation between Cartesian natural philosophy and the Parisian academies of the 1660s; the complex interplay between Cartesianism and Newtonianism in the Dutch Republic; the Cartesian influence on medical teaching at the University of Duisburg; and the challenges chemistry posed to the Cartesian theory of matter. The second part of the volume examines the work of particular Cartesians, such as Henricus Regius, Robert Desgabets, Jacques Rohault, Burchard de Volder, Antoine Le Grand, and Balthasar Bekker. Together these studies counter scientific revolution narratives that take rationalism and empiricism to be two mutually exclusive epistemological and methodological paradigms. The volume is thus a helpful instrument for anyone interested both in the histories of early modern philosophy and science, as well as for scholars interested in new evaluations of the historiographical tools that framed our traditional narratives.

Download or read book Franciscans and the Elixir of Life written by Zachary A. Matus and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major ambitions of medieval alchemists was to discover the elixir of life, a sovereign remedy capable not only of healing the body but of transforming it. Given the widespread belief that care for the body came at the cost of care for the soul, it might seem surprising that any Franciscan would pursue the elixir, but those who did were among its most outspoken and optimistic advocates. They believed they could distill a substance that would purify, transmute, and ennoble the human body as well as the soul. In an age when Christians across Europe were seeking material evidence for their faith and corporeal means of practicing their devotion, alchemy, and the elixir in particular, offered a way to bridge the terrestrial and the celestial. Framed as a history around science, Franciscans and the Elixir of Life focuses on alchemy as a material practice and investigates the Franciscan discourses and traditions that shaped the pursuit of the elixir, providing a rich examination of alchemy and religiosity. Zachary A. Matus makes new connections between alchemy, ritual life, apocalypticism, and the particular commitment of the Franciscan Order to the natural world, shedding new light on the question of why so many people claimed to have made, seen, or used alchemical compounds that could never have existed.

This book was released on 1994-08-31 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume owes its ongm to a Colloquium on "Alchemy and Chemistry in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries", held at the Warburg Institute on 26th and 27th July 1989. The Colloquium focused on a number of selected themes during a closely defined chronological interval: on the relation of alchemy and chemistry to medicine, philosophy, religion, and to the corpuscular philosophy, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The relations between Medicina and alchemy in the Lullian treatises were examined in the opening paper by Michela Pereira, based on researches on unpublished manuscript sources in the period between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is several decades since the researches of R.F. Multhauf gave a prominent role to Johannes de Rupescissa in linking medicine and alchemy through the concept of a quinta essentia. Michela Pereira explores the significance of the Lullian tradition in this development and draws attention to the fact that the early Paracelsians had themselves recognized a family resemblance between the works of Paracelsus and Roger Bacon's scientia experimentalis and, indeed, a continuity with the Lullian tradition.

Download or read book Nouveau ciel, nouvelle terre written by Miguel Angel Granada and published by Belles Lettres. This book was released on 2009 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nouveau ciel, Nouvelle terre fait reference au verset apocalyptique figurant sur les panneaux de l'horloge astronomique de Strasbourg, non loin du portrait de Copernic. Les articles ici reunis examinent le developpement historique de la question copernicienne: l'espace de sa reception, de sa diffusion, et les differentes formes de resistances a la theorie heliocentrique, qui n'ont d'ailleurs pas toujours abouti a en interdire la diffusion. D'abord, ce volume etudie l'articulation entre l'elaboration de la problematique copernicienne et les preoccupations eschatologiques constantes chez les theologiens les plus ecoutes comme Philippe Melanchthon (1497-1560) ou Andreas Osiander (1498-1552), mais aussi bien presentes chez des coperniciens de la premiere heure comme Georg Joachim Rheticus (1514-1574). En second lieu, il s'agit de montrer que la revolution astronomique remet progressivement en question la distinction traditionnelle entre un monde sublunaire, materiel, corruptible, et un ciel inalterable, sans histoire ni secret. Avant de s'identifier en une seule substance, ce nouveau ciel et cette nouvelle terre sont saisis comme des realites symetriques: les speculations alchimiques de Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), ou la fortune du paracelsisme, refletent bien la conscience nouvelle de cette symetrie, et d'une solidarite inconnue de tous ceux qui, avec Aristote, tiennent l'astronomie pour une science purement et seulement mathematique. Dans le ciel qu'etudient ces nouveaux astronomes, il y a, comme sur la terre, de la matiere, du mouvement, et des changements reels. Cet ouvrage examine aussi cette decouverte, dans le sillage de Copernic (1473-1543), de la nature physique du ciel; la theorie des cometes ou des nouvelles etoiles engage ainsi l'astronomie dans la voie d'une evolution radicale qui, avec Kepler (1571-1630), la fera acceder au statut de physique celeste . C'est la le terme d'une revolution commencee presque cent ans plus tot. Michel Angel Granada est professeur d'histoire de la philosophie a l'Universite de Barcelone, et specialiste de la Renaissance. Edouard Mehl est maitre de conferences en philosophie a l'Universite de Strasbourg, et specialiste de Descartes.

Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, finance, mythology, the arts, medicine, and more, as told by the Periodic Table. Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters? The Periodic Table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. The Disappearing Spoon masterfully fuses science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, and discovery -- from the Big Bang through the end of time. Though solid at room temperature, gallium is a moldable metal that melts at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A classic science prank is to mold gallium spoons, serve them with tea, and watch guests recoil as their utensils disappear.
