This volume follows the successful book, which has helped to
introduce and spread the Philosophy of Chemistry to a wider
audience of philosophers, historians, science educators as well as
chemists, physicists and biologists. The introduction summarizes
the way in which the field has developed in the ten years since the
previous volume was conceived and introduces several new authors
who did not contribute to the first edition. The editors are well
placed to assemble this book, as they are the editor in chief and
deputy editors of the leading academic journal in the field,
Foundations of Chemistry. The philosophy of chemistry remains a
somewhat neglected field, unlike the philosophy of physics and the
philosophy of biology. Why there has been little philosophical
attention to the central discipline of chemistry among the three
natural sciences is a theme that is explored by several of the
contributors. This volume will do a great deal to redress this
imbalance. Among the themes covered is the question of reduction of
chemistry to physics, the reduction of biology to chemistry,
whether true chemical laws exist and causality in chemistry. In
addition more general questions of the nature of organic chemistry,
biochemistry and chemical synthesis are examined by specialist in
these areas.
