  Updated EB article: Chinese Philosophy
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 12:37 PM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Alchemical developments: While learned specialists continued to refine alchemical theory, the period witnessed increasing interest in internal alchemy (neidan), in which the language of the laboratory was used to describe operations realized within the body. This, in a sense, was nothing new. Alchemical metaphors had very early been applied to physiology; Ge Hong, for example, called semen the “yin elixir.”...

  Philip Ball: Elixirs, Experiments & the Birth of Modern Science

"Philip Ball is such a prolific author that he confesses to losing count of the number of books he’s published. A quick counting of those listed on his website puts the total at 30, which makes his latest—Alchemy: An Illustrated History of Elixirs, Experiments, and the Birth of Modern Science, published Sept. 2—number 31."

  Warburg: “As stiffe twin compasses”: Allegory and Sciences
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 12:29 PM - Forum: News - Meeting - Events - No Replies

"Organised by Sergei Zotov (Frances Yates Fellow, Warburg Institute)

This two-day international conference explores the rich entanglements between allegory and scientific thought in Europe between 1300 and 1700. From sacred architecture and cosmological diagrams to alchemical figures and medical imagery, the event examines how allegorical modes shaped — and were shaped by — the emerging disciplines of natural philosophy, astronomy, medicine, and early modern science. Bringing together scholars from across Europe and North America, the conference traces the use of allegory not just as a literary or artistic device, but as an epistemic framework — a way of thinking through the world.

Keynote speakers:
Prof. Sachiko Kusukawa (University of Cambridge, Trinity College) & Prof. Sophie Page (University College London)"

  The Alchemical Mafia
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 11:19 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

"Tonight’s focus is the Orsini & Rosenberg House. They are called the Alchemical Mafia because Prince Pepe Domenico Napoleon Orsini, the Duke of Gravina, is the Grey Pope. The number one. He receives his orders from Fallen Angels (my best guess is Azazel and Samyaza) and directs the black and white pope to control duality on earth. The Orsini Family have perfected the Diana Tree Deep Purple Philosopher’s stone 500 years ago, they then challenged the Breakspear family over rights to the Catholic Church and won. The breaking of the stones occurred and The Breakspear’s philosophers stone broke. It took the Orsini family 400 years to weed out all of the spies and families who were the old guard. Around the late 1800’s, The Breakspear’s conceded control and gave the Orsini’s the spear of destiny (spear of Longinus or the spear that pierced the side of Jesus)."

  Explorations in Daoism: Medicine and Alchemy in Literature
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 11:16 AM - Forum: Reviews and book notices - No Replies

"The Daoist canon is the definitive fifteenth century compilation of texts concerning ritual, alchemical and meditation practices within Daoist religion. Many of these texts are undated and anonymous, so dating them is essential for a clear understanding of the development of Chinese alchemy, and the place of these texts in history.Ho Peng Yoke's Explorations in Daoism brings together an extraordinary compendium of data on alchemical knowledge in China, describing the methods used for dating important alchemical texts in the Daoist canon, and reconstructing and translating a number of alchemical texts that exist only in fragments scattered throughout the Daoist canon, pharmacopoeia and other compendia.This book provides a clear guide for students and scholars about the methods required for dating and reconstituting texts using techniques that can be applied to other areas of traditional Chinese culture also. As such, this book will appeal to those interested in Chinese alchemy, the history of science, Daoism and Chinese history."

  The Synthetic Dream: Transhumanism as Myth, Machine, and Control
Posted by: Paul Ferguson - 09-03-2025, 11:14 AM - Forum: Articles on alchemy - No Replies

The Synthetic Dream: Transhumanism as Myth, Machine, and Control

"Alchemy was never really about lead. It was about man. The crucibles and furnaces, the retorts and alembics, were props in a drama of transformation: matter redeemed, base metal transfigured into gold, mortality into immortal tincture. The philosopher’s stone was never simply wealth; it was the key to transfiguration. Eternal life, incorruptibility, the body as vessel to be purified and reborn. In that smoke and fire, the first prototypes of the posthuman were dreamed. The Hermeticists and Rosicrucians refined this myth into liturgy. Their manifestos promised ascent, illumination, a breaking of human limits through secret knowledge. Their adepts imagined orders of perfected men—illuminati—whose heightened being justified their rule. What the alchemists staged in secrecy, the Rosicrucians broadcast as destiny: humanity, perfected by hidden technē, rising toward the divine. Replace “tincture” with “upload,” “order” with “platform,” and the symmetry is undeniable. Transhumanism is the Rosicrucian fantasy stripped of incense and replated in UX chrome."
