chemist scientist medical theorist
Georg Stahl was born on October 21, 1660, at Anspach in Bavaria, Germany; the son of Johann Lorentz Stahl, a Lutheran pastor.
Although brought up in an extremely pious and religious household, he early showed an enthusiasm for chemistry. By the age of 15 he had mastered a set of university lecture notes on the subject as well as a difficult treatise by Johann Kunckel. Stahl studied medicine at the University of Jena, where he graduated in 1683.
Following graduation he taught at the University of Jena for 10 years. In 1694 Stahl was invited to fill the second chair of medicine at the newly founded University of Halle. He owed his appointment to the recommendation of the holder of the first chair of medicine, Friedrich Hoffmann. They made Halle one of the most important medical schools of the early 18th century, although their careers there were punctuated by frequent quarrels. For 22 years Stahl lectured at Halle and wrote an impressive list of works on chemistry and medicine. His lectures were said to have been dry and intentionally difficult; he is alleged to have had a low opinion of the intellectual capacity of his students at Halle. Stahl's most notable contribution to chemistry was his famous phlogiston theory of combustion, which became one of the main unifying theories of 18th-century chemistry. He maintained that all substances which burned contained a combustible principle called phlogiston (from the Greek phlogos, a flame) which was liberated during the combustion process. This principle of phlogiston was present not only in such obviously combustible substances as wood, wax, oils, and other organic materials but also in inorganic substances such as sulfur and phosphorus and even in metals. Thus when a metal was calcined by heating (a process now known as oxidation), the metal was said to lose its phlogiston. Conversely, when the metallic calx was reduced again to the metal, phlogiston was taken up. This theory also offered the first explanation of why charcoal was used in the smelting of metallic ores. Charcoal was a substance rich in phlogiston (since on burning it left no residue), and in the smelting process the phlogiston passed from the charcoal to the ore to give the pure metal. In developing his theory, Stahl drew from the earlier ideas on combustion of the late-17th-century German chemist J. J. Becher.
As a medical theorist, Stahl opposed the purely chemical and mechanistic explanations of living phenomena current in his time. He emphasized the gulf between living and nonliving materials, stating that the distinctive feature of the former was that they possessed a soul which prevented their decomposition.
Stahl retired from academic life in 1716 to take up appointment as physician to King Frederick I of Prussia. He held this post until his death on May 14, 1734.
He was the founder of the phlogiston theory of combustion. One of the major achievements of this theory was that it offered a comprehensive explanation of so many seemingly disparate chemical phenomena. He was also the author of a theory of medicine based upon vitalistic ideas. His reintroduction of animistic or vitalistic ideas into physiology had great influence on 18th-century medical theory.

At the University of Jena he came under the influence of iatrochemical theories, which gave an interpretation of physiological processes in terms of chemistry. He was later to become a strong opponent of this school of medical theory.
He had two wives, who died from puerperal fever in 1696 and 1706. He also had a son Johnathan and a daughter who died in 1708.
