Natural Philosophy and Natural Magic by Lynn Thorndike is a comprehensive study of the history of science and magic in the Western world from the ancient Greeks to the Renaissance. The book explores the relationship between natural philosophy, which is the study of the natural world through observation and experimentation, and natural magic, which is the use of natural forces and substances to achieve supernatural effects. Thorndike traces the evolution of these two disciplines from their origins in ancient Greece and Rome, through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, to the early modern period. He examines the contributions of key figures such as Aristotle, Galileo, and Newton, as well as lesser-known figures who made significant contributions to the development of science and magic. The book also explores the social and cultural contexts in which these disciplines emerged and how they were influenced by religion, politics, and other factors. Overall, Natural Philosophy and Natural Magic provides a fascinating and in-depth look at the history of science and magic and their interplay throughout the centuries.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The History of Magic and Experimental Science Part 10, by Lynn Thorndike.
