Mystics at Heart 2: The Greatest Minds in Science and Philosophy


Listen Later

The greatest men and women in the world—scientists, artists, and philosophers—who have had the most profound positive impact were mystics at heart. These individuals sought deeper truths, often blending their scientific inquiries with spiritual insights. Here, we continue our exploration of such figures, focusing on Thales, Aristotle, Roger Bacon, William Harvey, Robert Boyle, Benjamin Franklin, John Dalton, and Michael Faraday. Thales of Miletus Thales, one of the pre-Socratic philosophers, is often considered the first true scientist. He believed that water was the fundamental substance of the universe, a concept rooted in his mystical view of nature's unity. Thales' insight that natural phenomena could be explained without resorting to mythology laid the groundwork for scientific inquiry. His contributions to geometry and astronomy demonstrated how mystical contemplation of nature could lead to profound scientific discoveries. Aristotle Aristotle, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great, made significant contributions to numerous fields, including biology, ethics, metaphysics, and logic. Aristotle's mysticism was evident in his belief in the "unmoved mover," a divine intelligence that set the universe in motion. His extensive works on natural philosophy and ethics emphasized the importance of reason and empirical observation, blending his mystical views with systematic scientific inquiry. Roger Bacon Roger Bacon, a 13th-century English philosopher and Franciscan friar, is often credited with emphasizing the importance of experimental science. Bacon's mysticism was evident in his belief that the study of nature could reveal divine truths. He advocated for the empirical method, which laid the foundation for modern scientific inquiry. Bacon's works in optics, alchemy, and astronomy highlighted the integration of mystical thought with scientific exploration. William Harvey William Harvey, an English physician, is best known for his discovery of the circulation of blood. Harvey's mysticism was reflected in his holistic view of the body, seeing it as a microcosm of the universe. His meticulous experiments and observations challenged long-held medical beliefs, revolutionizing the understanding of human physiology. Harvey's integration of mystical and scientific perspectives demonstrated how a holistic approach could lead to groundbreaking discoveries. Robert Boyle
