ERIC R. SCERRI and LEE McINTYRE THE CASE FOR THE PHILOSOPHY OF CHEMISTRY
نویسندگان
چکیده
The philosophy of chemistry has been sadly neglected by most contempory literature in the philosophy of science. This paper argues that this neglect has been unfortunate and that there is much to be learned from paying greater philosophical attention to the set of issues defined by the philosophy of chemistry. The potential contribution of this field to such current topics as reduction, laws, explanation, and supervenience is explored, as are possible applications of insights gained by such study to the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of social science.

In 1986 I undertook what I believe may have been the first PhD thesis in the new field of philosophy of chemistry. My topic was the question of the reduction of chemistry to quan...
متن کاملInquiry Learning, Modelling and a Philosophy of Chemistry Teaching
Scerri and Erduran (2002) recently resurrected the question: How is knowledge developed and justified in chemistry? Scerri (2003) denies a role for constructivism in chemical education even though chemistry courses use humanly constructed models to represent sub-microscopic particles. The unobservable nature of most chemistry means that humanly constructed mental imagery is an essential element...
