Der ungeteilte Pythagoras – Zur Kritik der Alchemie an den modernen Natur-wissenschaften / The Undivided Pythagoras – On Alchemy’s Criticism of Modern Natural Sciences
Gespräch mit / Talk with Prof. Dr. Helmut Gebelein und / and Jana Hartmann.
Eine Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften, insbesondere der Elementenlehre der griechischen Naturphilosophie und der Weltsicht der Alchemie zeigt, dass sich unser Verständnis von der Natur und damit unser Umgang mit ihr, deutlich gewandelt hat. Waren die Vorläufer der Naturwissenschaften noch von der Idee geleitet, Naturzusammenhänge zu verstehen, um ihnen zu folgen, so geht es heute vielmehr um eine Naturerkenntnis mit dem Ziel der Beherrschung der Natur. Beginnend mit einer kurzen Einführung in die Philosophie von Pythagoras erörtern die Gesprächspartner das Weltbild der Alchemie, welches nicht nur durch ihre praktische Arbeit im Labor, sondern auch durch ihre interdisziplinären Erkenntnisse u.a. in den Bereichen Geometrie, Astronomie, Philosophie und Kunst geprägt war.
Professor Dr. Gebelein führte von 1972-2005 den Lehrstuhl für Didaktik der Chemie an der Justus Liebig-Universität Giessen. Er beschäftigte sich intensiv mit der Geschichte der Naturwissenschaften, wobei die Alchemie einen Forschungsschwerpunkt darstellte. Er veröffentlichte u.a. ein Buch "Alchemie" zur Geschichte und zum Einfluss der Alchemie auf die Kulturgeschichte und zusammen mit Karin Figala die Aufsatzsammlung „Hermetik & Alchemie - Betrachtungen am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts“.
Secrets of Alchemy – Reframing Alchemy’s history and its broad influence on human culture
Online lecture and talk with Prof. Lawrence Principe, Johns Hopkins University, USA and me. (in English)
The recording of the talk will be available online starting 2. Sept. at www.aestiftung.de
The symbolic, enigmatic language used by the alchemists has always left much room for interpretation, which is why numerous myths have entwined around alchemy for centuries. For a long time, it was also reputed to be dubious. Recent research, in which Prof. Lawrence Principe is also involved, have shown that early alchemical texts, despite their obscure language, were based on real chemical operations, which inspired not only natural scientists such as Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton. The conversation will focus on recent findings about the achievements of alchemy and its influence on society.
Prof. Principe is the Drew Professor and the Director of the Singleton Center for the Study of Premodern Europe of the Humanities at Johns Hopkins University. He is a distinguished historian of science whose research has transformed our view of early modern alchemy and has published numerous books on the subject of alchemy, including „The Secrets of Alchemy“ and „The Transmutations of Chymistry“.
