Luce, colori e coloranti nella chimica del Settecento (2013)

unapi

Unlike in modern physics, the “secondary qualities” (John Locke) of bodies – colour, smell, taste, sound, heat, cold, expansivity, inflammability, etc. – played a very important role in chemical theory, with regard to the knowledge of natural substances and their transformations. Colour, in particular, performed the task of an actual “principle of identification” of both the former and the latter. This happened within multiple and diverse viewpoints related to various chemical and physical theories, but also to artistic and manufacturing practices of a chemical kind (dyeing, painting, glass-work, metallurgy, etc.). Furthermore, the problem of the theoretical foundations of the perceivable qualities of bodies was central also in the eighteenth-century debate between the advocates of phlogistic chemistry and those of pneumatic chemistry.
