Although the sceptical chymist Robert Boyle is generally known as an experimental natural philosopher, he was also the child of a culture of bookish erudition. By quoting diverse classical, medieval, Renaissance and contemporary authors, he gave ...

... from Sennert without acknowledgement. Later works, such as The Sceptical Chymist, elaborate on these borrowings. This discovery shows that we cannot view Boyle's corpuscular philosophy as an imposition of physics on chemistry: instead, it appears that it originally grew out of chemistry itself. The discovery also throws an interesting light on Boyle' ...

Physico-chemical doubts and paradoxes abound in the description of forces and in the molecular simulation of the crystalline state, as they did in Boyle's times about the inner structure of matter. Solid-state structuring and bonding are still characterized in sometimes doubtful, sometimes paradoxical, and sometimes distorted terminologies. Phase transitions are mostly considered as just relationships between the two termini, without an operational understanding of the in-between transition mechanisms. ...

In 1661, when Robert Boyle published The Sceptical Chymist, he was trying to assess the consistency of the works of contemporary chemists, while criticizing the imperfections of their theories. Boyle suggested that another methodical approach was necessary, a method he described in later books as based on rich experimental data and wary of the obsolete Aristotelian or Paracelsian theories. The sceptical approach thus gave him the opportunity to underline ...
