This interdisciplinary course examines the foundations of science and engineering through the historical lenses of alchemy, natural philosophy, and magic in Europe. Aimed primarily at students with a technical background, it traces the evolution of scientific thought from ancient traditions to early modern science, highlighting how alchemists, natural philosophers, and even occultists contributed to the principles underpinning today’s scientific and engineering disciplines.
Through engagement with primary texts, encounters with influential figures, and discussions of landmark experiments, participants will explore the interplay of mysticism, experimentation, and technical innovation that shaped early scientific inquiry. The course deepens understanding of the cultural, philosophical, and technological legacy that paved the way for modern engineering, while also offering insight into public expectations of science and technology in historical context.
The course is tailored for Master and PhD students. It is also open to the public.
- Course Start Date: 20 October 2025
- Learners who wish to participate synchronously, attend the live online lectures and get 3 ECTS are invited to join from this date.
- The course will also be offered in an asynchronous format, allowing participants to complete it at their own pace.
