More about the book

Exploring the nature of matter, the book presents a dialogue where Robert Boyle proposes that matter is composed of moving corpuscles and clusters, with all phenomena resulting from their collisions. Boyle challenges the traditional definitions of elements by Aristotle and Paracelsus, advocating for a definition of elements as "perfectly unmingled bodies." This groundbreaking work, published in 1661, positions Boyle as a pivotal figure in the emergence of modern chemistry, laying the foundation for future scientific inquiry.
