Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition. Frontispiece, xi, 219 pp; illus. Original cloth. Ink dot on bottom edge of pages, else Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Cambridge Studies in the History of Medicine. 'Only comparatively recently have historians begun to recognize the importance and influence of Joan Baptista Van Helmont (15791644) in the history of medicine and chemistry. Van Helmont's theories on the nature of life, biological time, physiology and disease, the structure of matter, and the processes of chemical change are veiled in his writings by a brand of Renaissance mysticism. His organic conception of the natural world, together with his belief in alchemy and astral forces, has resulted in a predominantly unsympathetic attitude among historians of science, by whom he is generally regarded as purveying an unpalatable and inherently 'unscientific' amalgam of medicine and philosophy. Dr Pagel now demonstrates that by painstaking analysis it is possible to appreciate the creative insights of a figure like Van Helmont. His book is a model of its kind, and is the culmination of many years of reflection on the topics discussed' (Cambridge University Press Web site). Contents: Preface; Abbreviations; 1. The life of Van Helmont in the light of his endeavour; 2. New aims: the hunt for perfect knowledge; 3. The nature of nature; 4. Biological ideas; 5. The ontological conception of disease; 6. Final assessment; Bibliography of Van Helmont; Index. 'Pagel's aim, at which he succeeds admirably, is to present Van Helmont's science as a complex and very individual creation in which the contributions that eventually became important elements in modern medicine emerged in the context of a philosophical and religious view of nature and man. Pagel presents a highly synthetic account that reveals how Van Helmont's radical reform of medicine rests on novel biological ideas that stem from a view of nature reflective of his religious convictions and inspiration and founded upon chemical principles' (Nicholas H. Clulee, review for 4S Review, Vol. 2, No. 4, Winter, 1984, pp. 21-23).…
