Le Mixte Et la Combinaison Chimique: Essai sur l'Évolution d'une Idée

Description: This book explores the concept of mixtures in chemistry, tracing its evolution from ancient atomic theories to the chemical revolution of the 18th century. The author highlights the contrasting views of Aristotle's "mixed" substances, which can't be separated without destroying their properties, and the Epicurean/Cartesian "mixtures", where substances retain their individual nature after combination. The author then discusses the influence of Newton's theories on chemistry, leading to the concept of molecular attraction and repulsion. Finally, the book examines the impact of Stahl's phlogiston theory and the rise of empirical chemistry, which rejected theoretical explanations in favor of practical observations. Through this historical lens, the book provides a deeper understanding of the nature of chemical mixtures and the ongoing debate between those who emphasize the unity and those who emphasize the diversity of substances when combined.
