The Sceptical Chymist by Robert Boyle

Own a Piece of Scientific History. The Book That Forged the Path from Alchemy to Modern Chemistry.

Step into the 17th century and witness the birth of a new science. Robert Boyle's The Sceptical Chymist is not merely a book; it is a foundational pillar of modern chemistry. First published in 1661, this revolutionary work boldly challenged the prevailing doctrines of alchemy and Aristotelian theory, paving the way for the rigorous, experimental science we know today.

Written in the form of a dialogue between learned characters, Boyle argues passionately for a new approach. He introduces the world to the concept of chemical elements as the fundamental, un-decomposable building blocks of matter, and insists that all theories must be proven through meticulous experimentation and evidence. This is the moment science began to demand proof over philosophy.

This high-quality softcover edition makes this monumental text accessible to every reader.
