The Riddle of Alchemy (English Edition) Formato Kindle

5,0 5,0 su 5 stelle 2 voti

This book deals with alchemy's rich, multifaceted tradition from three perspectives - history, psychology, and nomothetic science - something rarely seen in other books on the same subject.  Part I - Alchemy: Histories concerns the interdisciplinary and cross-cultural intercourse that occasioned the rich tapestry of alchemical tropes, themes, narratives, and pursuits, addressing the harmonious fusion of Hellenistic nature philosophy, Gnostic mythology, and Egyptian crafts and metallurgical practices in late antiquity - and much more, including the alchemy's role during the Renaissance, its influence on Jacob Boehme’s theosophy, and its medieval imagery's integral role in Jung’s theory of the collective unconscious. Part 2 - Alchemy: Processes of the Mind looks at the alchemical opus and its stages in the context of analytical, developmental, and clinical psychology, offering psychological interpretations of the Splendor Solis plates and integrated alchemical interpretations of personality, personal growth, and the human condition. Part 3 - Alchemy: The Noetic Science examines the empirical validity of alchemical theory and pursuit, addressing the viability of metallic transmutation, the theory of esoteric correspondences - the planet-metal connections - and how its animistic paradigm and principles of transformation might connect to more innovative, radical ideas emergent within the nomothetic disciplines.

Recensione

Alchemy, the alleged transmutation of base metals into precious ones, has long captured the human imagination, sometimes serving as a metaphor for other types of change. In the provocative book, Paul Kiritsis discusses the topic from several different perspectives, spanning various eras and cultures. from the chemical laboratories of ancient Greece, to the 'internal alchemy' of Eastern sages, to the psychological insights of Carl Gustav Jung, alchemy is a topic that never fails to delight and intrigue - as Dr, Kiritsis points out in this reader-friendly book, each chapter of which is an eloquently stated discussion of the topic. --Professor Stanley Krippner, PhD., California Institute of Integral Studies

Kiritsis looks upon or writes about various cults, ancient practices and curious locales with sympathy, understanding, and an open mind: yet, concomitant with this very high level of creativity and imagination comes an author and scholar's appreciation of science, credibility, and genuine research. --Dr. Paul Leon Masters, Founder/CEO of the IMM

Kiritsis’ personal and quality research, active imagination, strong writing skills, as well as his specialized knowledge in metaphysical and esoteric topics make this book a rare and wonderful work of art. --Nina Gatzoulis, Classics Lecturer, University of New Hampshire

    This book offers a unique perspective on alchemy by delving into its history, psychology, and the science behind it. The author's exploration of the interdisciplinary influences on alchemy's development throughout history was fascinating and provided a comprehensive understanding of this ancient practice. The psychological interpretations of alchemical processes added a new layer of depth to my understanding of the subject. Additionally, the discussion on the empirical validity of alchemical theories was thought-provoking and left me with much to ponder.Overall, a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in delving deeper into the world of alchemy.
