Description
Chemistry's Metaphysics by Vanessa A. Seifert explores the relationship between chemistry and the metaphysics of science. This Element investigates five key topics: natural kinds, scientific realism, reduction, laws and causation, drawing on ten chemical case studies to illustrate how chemistry informs these issues. By examining the intersection of chemistry and metaphysics, this book sheds light on the ways in which a comprehensive understanding of science requires consideration of chemical principles. The result is a nuanced exploration of the fundamental questions that underpin scientific inquiry. Available as an Open Access title on Cambridge Core, Chemistry's Metaphysics offers a unique perspective on the role of chemistry in shaping our understanding of the natural world.
