  The Philosophy of Chemistry
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-10-2025, 12:23 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

Okan Nurettin Okur

"Imagine a chemist and a philosopher going on a long walk. Do you think they could discover common ground while looking at nature together? On the one hand, we have a scientist, who believes in the infallibility of formulas, who accepts that numbers cannot lie, who measures and analyzes, who seeks the answer in the world he sees through the lens of a microscope; on the other hand, a philosopher, whose only tool is reason, and who questions everything to the finest detail, and yet is never fully convince..."

  Animals in Alchemy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-03-2025, 02:42 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"Animals have always played a fascinating role in stories and traditions, but in alchemy, they take on a whole new meaning. You’ll find creatures like lions, snakes, and birds popping up in alchemical texts, each carrying deep symbolic messages. These animals aren’t just decorations—they represent complex ideas about transformation, power, and the mysteries of nature."

  Movie Director: Jan Švankmajer
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 10-03-2025, 02:18 PM - Forum: Alchemical symbolism and imagery - No Replies

"The alchemical and kabbalistic history of Prague is an undoubted inspiration for him, and his work builds on these sources and combines it with surrealism. Surrealism and Mannerism, which are anchored in the duality of opposites - rationalism with the irrational, sensualism with spiritualism, tradition with innovation, convention with revolt - create the necessary tension for creative activity. In his view, Surrealism represents a contemporary form of Romanticism that restores art to its magical dignity."
