This 1661 work is designed as an argument in dialogue between four
interlocutors: Carneades, who is sceptical about the Aristotlean position, his
friend Themistus who argues in favour of Aristotle, Philoponis who speaks
for Paracelsus, and the neutral Eleutherios. The author put the same ideas
into a more succinct form in an earlier essay titled Reflexions on the
Experiments vulgarly alledged to evince the four peripatetique Elements.
