Philosophy of Chemistry

The Philosophy of Chemistry is a branch of philosophy which explores questions regarding chemistry, its nature and methodology, and its relation to other scientific disciplines. It challenges common scientific viewpoints, often questioning how chemical phenomena fit into traditional philosophical and scientific frameworks. It can touch upon a variety of issues such as how elements interact, the nature of chemical bonds, or what truly defines a chemical reaction. This approach promotes deeper understanding, beyond just practical applications of chemistry, to conceptualize its fundamental principles.
