Zotov Lecture: How the English Made the Philosopher’s Stone - Paul Ferguson - 10-09-2026
Tuesday 20. October at 19:30 - 21:30
Arc Space London
This event will be held in Russian.
"In this lecture, we will explore how English and European alchemists searched for the philosopher’s stone and how their experiments were transformed into elaborate allegories. Why might a chemical substance be depicted as a lion, the death of a metal as a dismembered king, or the combination of two substances as the marriage of a man and a woman? And can we understand the meaning of these images today by recreating an early experiment?"
