A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHEMISTRY - Waldorf …
A BRIEF HISTORY . OF. CHEMISTRY . by Michael Ridenour A Curriculum Study Research Institute for Waldorf Education Copyright 2004 by Michael Ridenour All Rights Reserved 1. Chapter Outlines Preface 4. Origins: The foundation for much of modern thought was laid in the science and philosophy of ancient Egypt and classical Greece. The chapter will compare ancient and modern and address the changes that led from one to the other. In Egypt: the land of Chem, myth and legend, the three gifts of Hermes Trismegistus and the doctrine of as above so below. The times change but we share a need to understand the nature of substance with older cultures. The science of substance has a dark side: Frank Oppenheimer's concern during the making of the first atomic bomb and the blind rush to get this thing to go.
3 Laying the Corner Stone: It is the best of times and it is the worst of times…for chemistry. Lavoisier and the foundation of a modern science. Gypsum and “fixed water” anticipate the phenomenon of “fixed air.”
