We may definitely claim that the alchemist were the first scientists in the full sense of the word. That is, they did not merely contemplate phenomena and seek to deduce regularities from them; they did not merely make models on mathematical principles to reflect the operation of phenomena. They took a fully active attitude. They sought to grasp the nature of process itself and to test out their ideas in the laboratory, to recreate and repeat phenomena under controlled conditions. That their controls were too often inadequate and crude is beside the point. They did make the attempt to grasp and recreate processes, and that is the crucial thing."--from Chapter 1.
