Né protoscienza né disciplina esclusivamente esoterica, l’alchimia si trovò al centro di un intricato dibattito di carattere scientifico, storico e filosofico di grande rilievo durante l’unico periodo per il quale la moderna storiografia non ha ancora elaborato studi approfonditi, quello successivo alla cosiddetta Rivoluzione Chimica del secondo Settecento. Per colmare tale lacuna, il volume è dedicato a una ricostruzione del pensiero alchemico dagli inizi dell’Ottocento ai giorni nostri, attraverso la disamina di casi esemplificativi che illustrano come la disciplina si sia conservata, sviluppata ed evoluta conformemente alla propria tradizione di riferimento e come diverse idee di alchimia si siano susseguite nel corso degli ultimi duecento anni. [Abstract translated by Google Translate: This is the abstract in English… Neither a protoscience nor an exclusively esoteric discipline, alchemy found itself at the center of an intricate scientific, historical and philosophical debate of great importance during the only period for which modern historiography has not yet elaborated in-depth studies, the one following the so-called Chemical Revolution of the second half of the eighteenth century. To fill this gap, the volume is dedicated to a reconstruction of alchemical thought from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present day, through the examination of exemplary cases that illustrate how the discipline has been preserved, developed and evolved in accordance with its own reference tradition and how different ideas of alchemy have emerged over the last two hundred years.]
