Stuart Glennan

Stuart Glennan is a philosopher known for his work in the philosophy of science, particularly in the philosophy of chemistry. He explores how chemical practices and theories contribute to scientific understanding and knowledge. Glennan emphasizes the importance of mechanisms in science, arguing that explaining how things work at a molecular level enhances our comprehension of broader scientific concepts. His contributions help clarify how chemistry intersects with other fields, such as physics and biology, and influence discussions about the nature of scientific explanation and the relationship between different scientific disciplines.
