""The Life and the Doctrines of Philippus Theophrastus Bombast of Hohenheim Known as Paracelsus"" is a comprehensive biography and analysis of the influential 16th-century Swiss-German physician and alchemist, Paracelsus. Written by Franz Hartmann, a German physician and Theosophist, the book delves into Paracelsus' life, including his early education, travels, and medical practice, as well as his groundbreaking theories on medicine, chemistry, and spirituality. The book explores Paracelsus' belief in the healing power of nature, his use of alchemy and astrology in medical practice, and his rejection of traditional medical practices of his time. Hartmann also delves into Paracelsus' spiritual beliefs, including his views on the nature of God and the human soul. This book provides a fascinating insight into the life and ideas of one of the most influential figures in the history of medicine and alchemy.Extracted from His Rare and Extensive Works and from some Unpublished Manuscripts; �������Of those who have taught the secret doctrine's scientific aspect, there have been none more profound than Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, and Paracelsus.������� �������Paracelsus threw pearls before the swine, and was scoffed at by the ignorant, his reputation was torn by the dogs of envy and hate, and he was treacherously killed by his enemies. But although his physical body returned to the elements out of which it was formed, his genius still lives, and as the eyes of the world become better opened to an understanding of spiritual truths, he appears like a sun on the mental horizon, whose light is destined to illuminate the world of mind and to penetrate deep into the hearts of the coming generation, to warm the soil out of which the science of the coming century will grow.������� Contents: The Life of Paracelsus; Explanations of Terms Used by Paracelsus; Cosmology; Anthropology, The Generation of Man; Pneumatology; Magic and Sorcery; Medicine; Alchemy and Astrology; Philosophy and Theosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
