O ovoj e-knjizi

From ancient mysticism to modern science—how has alchemy influenced the quest for knowledge? This book explores the origins of alchemy, which dates back to Hellenistic Egypt, and its development through the Islamic Golden Age to the Renaissance in Europe. It discusses alchemy's dual pursuit of material transformation, such as turning base metals into gold, and spiritual enlightenment. The narrative examines the symbolic language of alchemy, its influence on early scientific thought, and the famous alchemists who sought the philosopher's stone. The book also considers the legacy of alchemy in modern psychology, particularly through the work of Carl Jung, who interpreted alchemical symbolism as a reflection of the human psyche. By charting the evolution of alchemy and its lasting impact on various disciplines, the book highlights its role in the broader context of human understanding and the search for meaning.
