PDF-[BOOK]-John Dee\'s Conversations with Angels: Cabala, Alchemy, and the End of Nature

Elizabethan Englands most famous natural philosopher John Dee recorded his reflections on the natural world the practice of natural philosophy and the apocalypse in a series of conversations with angels which have long been an enigmatic facet of his life and work This book makes extensive use of Dees library and annotations to clarify this mystery by providing a detailed analysis of these conversations Professor Harkness contextualizes Dees angel conversations within the natural philosophical religious and social contexts of his time arguing that the conversations represent a continuing development of John Dees earlier concerns and interests This book will appeal to those with an interest in the history of science students of religion and everyone who approaches the new millennium with a wary eye.

Yelinek, IV˚ Bergman – Alchemical Symbols (1775) Historical Alchemists A series of conversations about science in graphic form, on subjects that range from the science of cooking to the multiverse.Physicist Clifford Johnson thinks that we should have more conversations about science. Science should be on our daily conversation menu, along with topics like politics, books, sports, or the latest prestige cable drama. Conversations about science, he tells us, shouldn\'t be left to the experts. In The Dialogues, Johnson invites us to eavesdrop on a series of nine conversations, in graphic-novel form--written and drawn by Johnson--about the nature of the universe. The conversations take place all over the world, in museums, on trains, in restaurants, in what may or may not be Freud\'s favorite coffeehouse. The conversationalists are men, women, children, experts, and amateur science buffs. The topics of their conversations range from the science of cooking to the multiverse and string theory. The graphic form is especially suited for physics one drawing can show what it would take many words to explain.In the first conversation, a couple meets at a costume party they speculate about a scientist with superhero powers who doesn\'t use them to fight crime but to do more science, and they discuss what it means to have a beautiful equation in science. Their conversation spills into another chapter (Hold on, you haven\'t told me about light yet), and in a third chapter they exchange phone numbers. Another couple meets on a train and discusses immortality, time, black holes, and religion. A brother and sister experiment with a grain of rice. Two women sit in a sunny courtyard and discuss the multiverse, quantum gravity, and the anthropic principle. After reading these conversations, we are ready to start our own. In the middle of the fourteenth century, the Franciscan friar John of Rupescissa sent a dramatic warning to his followers: the last days were coming the apocalypse was near. Deemed insane by the Christian church, Rupescissa had spent more than a decade confined to prisons--in one case wrapped in chains and locked under a staircase--yet ill treatment could not silence the friar\'s apocalyptic message.Religious figures who preached the end times were hardly rare in the late Middle Ages, but Rupescissa\'s teachings were unique. He claimed that knowledge of the natural world, and alchemy in particular, could act as a defense against the plagues and wars of the last days. His melding of apocalyptic prophecy and quasi-scientific inquiry gave rise to a new genre of alchemical writing and a novel cosmology of heaven and earth. Most important, the friar\'s research represented a remarkable convergence between science and religion.In order to understand scientific knowledge today, Leah DeVun asks that we revisit Rupescissa\'s life and the critical events of his age--the Black Death, the Hundred Years\' War, the Avignon Papacy--through his eyes. Rupescissa treated alchemy as medicine (his work was the conceptual forerunner of pharmacology) and represented the emerging technologies and views that sought to combat famine, plague, religious persecution, and war. The advances he pioneered, along with the exciting strides made by his contemporaries, shed critical light on later developments in medicine, pharmacology, and chemistry. Elizabethan England\'s most famous natural philosopher John Dee recorded his reflections on the natural world, the practice of natural philosophy, and the apocalypse in a series of conversations with angels, which have long been an enigmatic facet of his life and work. This book makes extensive use of Dee\'s library and annotations to clarify this mystery by providing a detailed analysis of these conversations. Professor Harkness contextualizes Dee\'s angel conversations within the natural, philosophical, religious, and social contexts of his time, arguing that the conversations represent a continuing development of John Dee\'s earlier concerns and interests. This book will appeal to those with an interest in the history of science, students of religion, and everyone who approaches the new millennium with a wary eye.
