«The Sceptical Chymist» is Robert Boyle's essay on natural philosophy and chemistry, published by Ockham Publishing in paperback (332 pages, in English).
Robert Boyle originally published this work in 1661 to defend a chemistry based on experimentation and observation against alchemy and the Aristotelian theories of the four elements. Boyle seeks to bring the knowledge of the chymists closer to mechanical philosophers, and his influence helped the old doctrines fall into disuse.
This Ockham Publishing edition, published on 19 February 2021, is volume 2 of the Ockham Classics collection.
Work aimed at readers interested in the history of science, rationalist philosophy and classics of popular science.
