Paracelsus's Theory of Embodiment Conception and Gestation in Early Modern Europe - 1 - Oxford Routledge 20160121 - 192 p
Paracelsus has been called the father of modern chemistry and is legendary for his treatment of syphilis. This work argues that Paracelsus developed an understanding of the body as composed of two distinct sexes, revolutionizing early modern conceptions of the female body as an inversion of or flawed approximation of the male body.
