Thesis on Gerhard Dorn - Paul Ferguson - 08-21-2023
"The historiographical construal of the relations between science and religion in terms of
conflict has long undermined the legitimacy of the study of spiritual alchemy. Recent studies
have illustrated the compatibility of natural philosophy and theology during the early modern
period. This project will follow the recent trend in reassessing this conflict by examining the
work of an illustrious renaissance alchemist, Gerhard Dorn (c. 1530/5 – after 1584). I will
approach Dorn as a ‘secular theologian,’ a natural philosopher who attempted to restore
harmony and unity in the world by means of a scientific-philosophical discourse."
