With the development of this new discipline, Eric Scerri and Grant Fisher's 'The Philosophy of Chemistry' is a timely and definitive guide to all current thought in this field. This edited volume serves to map out the distinctive features of the field and its connections to the philosophies of the natural sciences and general philosophy of science more broadly.Oxford scholarship online.ChemistryPhilosophyChemistryPhilosophy.540.1Scerri Eric R.Fisher Grant(Grant Andrew),MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798378703321Essays in the philosophy of chemistry3827329UNINA
