$il\VOLVEMENT OF RETII\OIC ACID II{ - MSpace at the University of ...$

cHé,PTltlì 0l{r SOtiiÌCES 0¡' ÎHú SïUDY Human history is marked by rhe phenomenon of a break-through 'rlhereby men of genlus and l'-nsitrht rise above the current of their contemporaries to poinb the way toi,vard ner,v eras. Perhaps rrlo:'e ihan any other epoch thÍs is urue of tire apocalyp'üic age of Paracelsus v¡hich boasts the names of Lubher, i'lachiavellir -ignatius LoyoLa, Columbus, I'{agellan, ivlichaelangelo, iirasmus of iìotterciam, and Coperrricus" It was a time tirhen ne'hr discoveries and concepl;s clashed vigor.ously wittr the nrore a-ccepted and venerated. ones, and. v¿hen tÌre knov'm l,',rorld, sudd.enly and startlingly opening up nevr perspectives, l."ras calLed upon to re-exarnine its belief s. Fhilippus Aureolus LSombastus Theophrastus ab iiohenheiin ca}led Paracelsus, who ivas to cirallenge the medical supreaacy of .åvicenna and Hippocrates and arouse bhe indignation of che hurnanists, was i:orn on I i'{ovember L493 on St" Philiprs Day iir jìinsiedeln/Schweiz' 'l'he son nf o nnrr-ntnrr j-qgfgr a_nd a bOndSWOmAn Of the BenediCtine \JI 4 U\Jg¡TV¿J I "{bbey in Einsiede}n, his recognition of an emphasis upon tire chernical and biological basis of living organisrns r^ras to pave i;he way'for a new type of medicine" FIis convi-Ction thac må-n tr^Ias a miCrocosrn i-n ihe universal niacrocosm was to guide his stens through an inner revelaiion of ihe síglliÍ'icance of huma.n existence"
L2" Paracelsus vras impatient of experience, and hence iõ in¡as to be his nission to fi¿ht cloisi,ered learning and the spread of peirified untested theories" That we recognize him ai, atl in these ierms is due more bo the autobiograph- ical and confessional parbs of his books than it is to his , 1. teacn].ngs ' Just as ihe alchemists insisted upon the organic nature of plant-Iike growth as the essence of creation, so it may saicl that Paracelsus continued io grow through maturicy to death" Yet despite the significance of this analogy, it would be in error to suggest that his devel op- ment proceeded unchecked and wibhout the turning-points broughì: on by conditions of crisis. His life r¡ras rnarked by trial and- error, disillu-sioned- groping, and success followed by set-back. The analogy, then, is valid not as it applies to the turmoll of the Índividual amj-dst the external conditions of his existence, but rather i,o the development of ttre inner man" Ihis dichotomy is the firsi ind-icatiori of ,ohe principle of polarity which so pervades Paracelsust alchemy and ind-eed alchemy at large" Polarity, 'Ehe contrasting paÍrs of opposites, finds expression throughout his vrorks, and iS a pol\ierful agency in the atiaininent of harmony; it explains the multicudinous discrepancies in his life" A glance at some of his i,riËings
