Exploring Paracelsus's ideas concerning human conception and gestation, this dissertation examines how Paracelsus's understanding of human birth informs his perception of the natural world and of human spirituality.{09}Throughout his writing, Paracelsus claims to reject classical medical authority. He also calls for the necessity of learning through observation, rather than relying on the texts that were at the time standard material in university medical education. Considering his opposition to the established medical curriculum, this dissertation suggests how Paracelsus's thoughts on the human body and human birth react to the medical world of his time by evaluating what is known about medicine and theories of human reproduction in the sixteenth century. Paracelsus's repeated references to the significance of divine authority and of Adam, Eve, Christ and Mary in his theory of human conception also points to his theological concerns. His understanding of the divine differs in many ways from the ideas expressed by most well known figures of the Reformation. When he questions the relationship of all humans to the divine he comes to an understanding of the importance of nature in human life. Defining nature leads him to explore the relationship of human physicality and spirituality. He relates both to conception and gestation. This dissertation argues for the significance of Paracelsus's thoughts on human reproduction as a cohesive and recurrent topic throughout his works. The discovery raises anew questions about the authenticity of some works whose presence in the Paracelsus-corpus have always been questioned. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of these works.Subjects--Topical Terms:
