Description
Chemistry’s Metaphysics provides a comprehensive examination of the metaphysical assumptions and implications embedded within chemical science. Vanessa A. Seifert investigates how chemical concepts challenge traditional philosophical categories and offers new perspectives on fundamental metaphysical questions.
The book addresses key issues including the nature of chemical substances, the relationship between chemical and physical properties, emergence in chemical systems, and the role of chemical bonds. Seifert demonstrates how chemistry operates as both an empirical science and a source of metaphysical insight, revealing how chemical phenomena inform our understanding of reality’s basic structure.
As part of the Elements in Metaphysics series, this volume bridges analytic philosophy and philosophy of science, making it essential reading for metaphysicians, philosophers of chemistry, and those seeking to understand the deeper implications of chemical knowledge.
