Chemistry as an interesting subject for the philosophy of science

Rein Vihalemm

pp. 185-200

Abstract

My attempt to draw attention to the relevance of chemistry for the philosophy of science may seem a little eccentric, since chemistry is not a common subject for philosophical reflection. Nevertheless, I intend to demonstrate that chemistry and its history can be, and have been, suitable subjects of analysis for the historically oriented philosophy and methodology of science.1
