In Elements, Principles and Particles, Antonio Clericuzio explores the relationships between chemistry and corpuscular philosophy in the age of the Scientific Revolution. Clericuzio's view is that since the beginning of the 17th century atomism and chemistry were strictly connected. Science historians have regarded chemistry and corpuscular philosophy as two distinct traditions.
They often combined a corpuscular theory of matter with Paracelsian chemical (and medical) doctrines. This is attested by Daniel Sennert and by many hitherto little-known French and English natural philosophers. Boyle plays a central part in the present book: Clericuzio redefines Boyle's chemical views, by showing that Boyle did not subordinate chemistry to the principles of mechanical philosophy.
When Boyle explained chemical phenomena, he had recourse to corpuscles endowed with chemical, not
