Siris (Classic Reprint): A Chain of Philosophical Reflexions and Inquiries Concerning the Virtues of Tar Water, and Divers Other Subjects Connected Together and Arising One From Another - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Discover how physical ideas meet philosophy in a landmark 18th‑century inquiry. This edition of Siris examines the nature of fire, light, air, and the invisible forces that tie matter and life together. It blends experimental hints with ancient and biblical echoes to explore how we know what we feel and see.
Plunge into a series of reflections that trace how elements like fire and aether influence everything from earthly substances to the human body. The text moves between practical questions about heat, light, and chemical principles and broader inquiries into mind, spirit, and the divine. Read as a tapestry of experiments, dialogues, and meditations, it invites readers to weigh evidence, test ideas, and consider how much of nature can be understood by reason alone.
- Explanations of how light and fire affect matter, and what those effects reveal about the natural world.
- Discussions of air, aether, and their roles in life, respiration, and movement.
- Connections between early modern science and ancient philosophy, including Plato and the Hermetic tradition.
- A reflective look at how ideas about the divine, creation, and knowledge braid together in a single inquiry.
Ideal for readers curious about the historical roots of science and metaphysics, and for those who enjoy thoughtful, methodical argumentation about the nature of reality.
