Primitive man's discovery of the ability to change matter from one state to another brought about a profound change in spiritual behavior.

The new edition of The Forge and the Crucible contains an updated appendix, in which Eliade lists works on Chinese alchemy published in the past few years. He also discusses the importance of alchemy in Newton's scientific evolution.About the Author
