Alchemy-Chemistry Continuity / 炼金术与化学连续性

Alchemy-chemistry continuity is the source’s reminder that older alchemical traditions and modern chemistry were not always cleanly separated. In 141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦:科幻之母和她的神奇时代, Victor Frankenstein’s childhood reading of Albertus Magnus, Agrippa, and Paracelsus is not treated as random superstition alone; it is part of a longer life-matter and transformation inheritance.

The concept helps keep [[Frankenstein|《弗兰肯斯坦》]] historically textured. The episode can acknowledge that Victor’s books are outdated within the story while still showing why alchemy, chemistry, medicine, animation, and divine ambition remain entangled in the novel’s imagination.
