This book reconstructs the intellectual continuity between medieval alchemy and modern chemistry, arguing that the scientific revolution did not abolish alchemical thought but transmuted it into experimental and rational form. Through a critical and interdisciplinary approach, it shows how the language of transformation became the grammar of scientific law, and how the pursuit of unity within matter evolved into the modern idea of conservation and energy. Far from a narrative of disenchantment, the study reveals that science inherited alchemy's metaphysical core - its faith in the intelligibility and moral order of nature - while replacing symbolic revelation with empirical method. Ultimately, it proposes that knowledge itself remains an alchemical act: the transformation of the world through the transformation of understanding.
