The enigmatic sixteenth-century Swiss physician and natural
philosopher Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim,
called Paracelsus, is known for the almost superhuman energy with
which he produced his innumerable writings, for his remarkable
achievements in the development of science, and for his reputation as
a visionary (not to mention sorcerer) and alchemist. Little is known
of his biography beyond his legendary achievements, and the details of
his life have been filled in over the centuries by his admirers. This
richly illustrated anthology presents in modernized language a
selection of the moral thought of a man who was not only a self-willed
genius charged with the dynamism of an impetuous and turbulent age but
also in many ways a humble seeker after truth, who deeply influenced
C. G. Jung and his followers.
