The Paracelsan Revival

The Paracelsan Revival is a book by Lynn Thorndike that explores the revival of the teachings and ideas of the 16th-century Swiss physician and alchemist, Paracelsus. Thorndike examines the impact of Paracelsus on the development of medicine and science during the Renaissance and beyond. He discusses how Paracelsus' emphasis on the importance of observation and experimentation, as well as his rejection of traditional medical practices, influenced later thinkers such as Francis Bacon and Robert Boyle. The book also explores the role of Paracelsus' ideas in the development of modern chemistry and the rise of the scientific method. Thorndike's work offers a comprehensive overview of the Paracelsan revival and its impact on the history of science and medicine.THIS 40 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The History of Magic and Experimental Science Part 9, by Lynn Thorndike.
