It emphasises what science rather than philosophical intuition tells us about the world, and chemistry rather than the physics that is more usually encountered in philosophical discussions. The central chapters dealing with the nature of matter pursue key steps in the historical development of scientific conceptions of chemical substance. Like many contemporary discussions of material objects, it relies heavily on mereology. The classical principles are applied to the mereological structure of regions of space, intervals of time, processes and quantities of matter. Quantities of matter, which don’t gain or lose parts over time, are distinguished from individuals, which are typically constituted of different quantities of matter at different times. The proper treatment of the temporal aspect of the features of material objects is a central issue in this book, which is addressed by investigating the conditions governing the application of predicates relating time and other entities. Of particular interest here are relations between quantities of matter and times expressing substance kind, phase and mixture. Modal aspects of these features are taken up in the final chapter.Synthese Library, Studies in Epistemology, Logic, Methodology, and Philosophy of Science,0166-6991 ;390Philosophy and scienceAnalytical chemistryPhysicsMetaphysicsChemistry—HistoryPhilosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000Analytical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11006History and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Metaphysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E18000History of Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C34000Philosophy and science.Analytical chemistry.Physics.Metaphysics.Chemistry—History.Philosophy of Science.Analytical Chemistry.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Metaphysics.History of Chemistry.501Needham Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut352359BOOK9910255449803321Macroscopic Metaphysics2261690UNINA00867nam a2200217 i 450099100433553070753620240726152903.0240726m1834 it er 000 0 ita dBibl.
