Paracelse
Paracelse (1493-1541) était un alchimiste, un médecin, un savant. Voyageant à travers l’Europe, guidé par sa soif de connaissances, il est devenu un personnage légendaire, auquel on attribua nombre de guérisons spectaculaires.« Tout est vivant et l’univers en son entier est un fleuve éternel de vie. » Tel est le fondement de son œuvre, lui-même garanti par une expérience intime et immédiate de cette vie exubérante. Tenant d’une science expérimentale et vivante, son attitude révolutionnaire lui vaudra des persécutions et le surnom de « Luther de la médecine ».Mais, au fond : « Qui était-il, ce vagabond génial? » Pour y répondre, Alexandre Koyré nous embarque dans une Europe fascinante où, pour expliquer le monde, mystique, philosophie, science et magie ne cessèrent de s’entrelacer.
