Abstract

[I propose following one of the major themes in chemistry from the end of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth: the circulation of seeds. My goal is not only to bring forward the longevity of this tradition—this is self-evident. Instead, I want to show how under diverse forms, the thesis of circulation allowed one to understand of how space was organized. In particular, I will look at the work of Joseph Duchesne (Quercetanus), Pierre-Jean Fabre and Herman Boerhaave. I will consider these three chemists as three moments in the history of chemical cosmologies that allow us to see how the spatial structure of the world has been considered.]
