Best Answer

It was generally European and middle eastern alchemists who searched for the stone. However, there were also a number of other people who sought after the stone, including magicians, noblemen, kings and quite obviously, philosophers.

One of the most notable noblemen to search for the Philosophers' Stone was Rudolf the second, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He hired quite literally hundreds of alchemists and various occult practitioners from dozens of nations in order to attempt to secure the prize, including the famed John Dee and Edward Kelley.

Is there a philosopher's stone that alchemists believed in?

the philosopher's stone (Latin: lapis philosophorum; Greek: chrysopoeia) is a legendary substance, supposedly capable of turning inexpensive metals into gold; it was also sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality. For a long time, it was the most sought-after goal in Western alchemy. In the view of spiritual alchemy, making the philosopher's stone would bring enlightenment upon the maker and conclude the Great Work.[1]Yes there is a philosophers stone, it is carried in the platypuses pouch! by Natalie.O There is no philosophers stone in a platypuse pouch, what also supports my state is that you didnt spell philosopher right. the philosophers stone is from HARRY POTTER and the PHILOSOPHERS STONE


What are the medieval alchemists concepts of the philosophers stone?

Well. according to the legend, the philosopher's stone consisted of the four elements: air fire earth water. The modern day scientist would say that 1. these aren't actually the real elements known today 2. it is absurd even trying to mix these together because one would put the other out eg. air- fire- water- earth. the secret of how to mix them was lost, but way after the medieval time. the most famous philosopher's stone maker was Nicholas Flamel, followed by the famous Levi. another theory was that the philosopher's stone's key ingredient was mercury. too much of handling with Mercury could lead to poisoning. but the greatest alchemis were the Arabs.


What is worlds renowned philosophers?

Too vague question to answer. To begin with, pre-Socratic philosophers (Parmenides, Heraclitus, Pythagoras) were the first thinkers (not "philosophers") of all times and the ones who first formulated the way we in the West think. After them came Socrates, Aristotle and Plato. And then... chaos. From Roman philosophers to modern "monsters" of philosophy like Heidegger and Wittgenstein, many people put their stone in the high wall of Philosophy...
