Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), the son of a wealthy Parisian lawyer, pursued the
family tradition and received his licence to practice law in 1764. But within two years he was
drawn back to his desire to learn more about science, an interest first experienced during his
earlier education in maths, astronomy, chemistry, and botany. By 1772 he’d disproven several of
ancient Greek principles about earth, air, fire, and water, and developed a reputation for exact
quantitative procedures and brilliant experiments. He expanded the list of known elements to
thirty-three, although some were erroneous (помилкові). From 1776 to 1782, Lavoisier
conducted experiments in which he isolated oxygen in air and furthered Priestley’s work on
oxygen’s role in combustion and respiration. In a 1783 paper titled On the Nature of Water and
on Experiments that Appear to Prove that this Substance is not Properly Speaking on Element,
but Can Be Decomposed and Recombined Lavoisier reported to the French Academy of Sciences
that water was the product of combining hydrogen and oxygen. In a subsequent (наступний)
paper delivered to the Academy, Lavoisier presented a logical analysis about the substance that
we now call oxygen. Through Lavoisier’s sensitive balance instrument, keen insight, and
inductive reasoning, he vanquished (подолав) the Greek concept of earth, air, fire, and water,
once and for all. For this and other work, he is now considered the father of modern chemistry.
Lavoisier had been active in political affairs his entire adult life, and devoted much of his career
to public service, including positions in the French government from 1768 to 1790 in the areas of
economics, agriculture, education and social welfare. In the aftermath (внаслідок) of the French
Revolution of 1789, despite his many contributions as a reformer and political liberal and despite
his participation in the Revolution, he came under attack because of his status as a wealthy
member of the French aristocracy, but primarily because of a position he had held in 1768 in the
Ferme-Generale, the country’s tax collecting agency. When the Reign of Terror commenced
(розпочинатися) in 1793, resulting in the suppression of the French Academy of Sciences and
other learned societies, Lavoisier was arrested. On May 8, 1794, after a one-day trial, the
prospects of Lavoisier’s further contributions to science and rational thought were prematurely
held at the age of 50 at Place de la Concorde in Paris, as his great mind fell into the blood-soaked
basket at the foot of the guillotine along with twenty-seven former members of the Ferme-
Generale.
