Remarks Upon Alchemy and the Alchemists (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the enigmatic world of alchemy, not as a quest for literal gold, but as a symbolic journey of self-discovery and spiritual transformation. Through an exploration of alchemical texts, the author argues that the true subject of this ancient art was not the transmutation of metals, but the perfection of the human soul. Drawing parallels with biblical passages and the wisdom of philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, the book unveils the alchemists' belief in the interconnectedness of the microcosm (man) and the macrocosm (the universe). By deciphering the symbolic language of "salt," "sulphur," and "mercury," readers are invited to uncover profound insights into the nature of God, humanity, and the pursuit of true wisdom. This book challenges the misconception of alchemists as mere gold-seekers and reveals their deeper pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and unity with the divine. Ultimately, the book's exploration of alchemical thought offers a timeless message: the most transformative journey is the one within.
