Biography:
William R. Newman is a professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at Indiana University. Most of his research has been in the history of alchemy and “chymistry.” He has published two books – The Summa perfectionis of pseudo-Geber (Leiden: Brill, 1991) and Gehennical Fire: The Lives of George Starkey, an American Alchemist in the Scientific Revolution (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1994). Newman has just completed Promethean Ambitions: Alchemy and the Art-Nature Debate, a book that will focus on the relationship of alchemy to the pre-modern arts up to the time of Robert Boyle. In broad terms, Promethean Ambitions considers the issue of the limits of human creativity, for which alchemy provided a powerful focus from the thirteenth through the seventeenth centuries. The book deals with alchemical attempts to replicate natural products over a wide variety of areas, from the artificial synthesis of gold to the production of artificial human life.
