Alchemy
Alchemy is thought to have originated over 2000 years ago in Hellenic Egypt, the result of three converging streams: Greek philosophy, Egyptian technology and the mysticism of Middle Eastern religions. Its heyday was from about 800 A.D. to the middle of the seventeenth century, and its practitioners ranged from kings, popes, and emperors to minor clergy, parish clerks, smiths, dyers, and tinkers. Even such accomplished men as Roger Bacon, Thomas Aquinas, Sir Thomas Browne and Isaac Newton took an interest in alchemical matters. In its search for the "Philosopher's Stone" that would transmute base metals into silver and gold, alchemy took on many philosophical, religious and mystical overtone...

The Alchemy of Healing
In The Alchemy of Healing, Dr. Edward C. Whitmont explores the major themes of illness, health, and the practice of medicine. Uniquely qualified by his personal associations with such pioneers as Carl Jung, M. Esther Harding, Karl Konig, Elizabeth Wright Hubbard, and G.B. Stearns, Whitmont takes a daring plunge into the paradoxes of homeopathic medicine, psychoanalytic transference, quantum physics, and the Gaia Hypothesis. Deftly exploring such subjects as Jungian synchronicity, alchemy, the I Ching, and the Law of Similars, he hints at the unknown principles fusing organism, planet, and cosmos and at a healing principle so profound it is written in both the stars and the sub-molecular traces of molecules. In this landmark work that addresses for the first time in our century the esoteric role of the physician in the drama of life and death, Whimont provides a forum for one of the most neglected voices of Western Civilization—that of disease—revealing how it is our own abandoned and depreciated voice. In challenging the myth of mechanical medicine he provides a clue as to how we might yet heal ourselves and our planet.

Mathesis, Naturphilosophie und Arkanwissenschaft im Umkreis Friedrich Christoph Oetingers (1702-1782)
Friedrich Christoph Oetinger (1702-1782) ueberschritt als unkonventioneller Universalgelehrter universit�re F�chergrenzen: Theologie, Philosophie, Hermetik, Alchemie, Medizin und Naturforschung flossen gleicherma�en in sein theosophisches Gedankengeb�ude ein. Seine �Philosophia sacra� stand aber nicht nur auf dem Fundament eines noch voraufkl�rerischen Bibelverst�ndnisses, sondern auch auf dem Boden des Wissens seiner Zeit. Auf diesem wissenschaftlichen Umfeld lag der Schwerpunkt einer Internationalen Fachtagung, deren interdisziplin�rer Dialog von Experten aus Geistes- und Naturwissenschaften nach der Ausbildung Oetingers an der Universit�t Tuebingen, aber auch nach dem Stand jener Wissenschaften, mit denen sich Oetinger besonders auseinandersetzte, fragen lie�. Mit Beitr�gen von: M. Weyer-Menkhoff, S.-M. Bauer, G. Betsch, K. Reich, R. Thiele, D. Hohrath, J. Smolka, J. Haubelt, E. J. Schauer, P. Deghaye, E. Zwink, T. Griffero, R. Breymayer, R. Janssen.
