Zusammenfassung: | This book uses history to introduce central issues in the philosophy of chemistry. Mobilizing the theme of impurity, it explores the tradition of chemistry's negative image. It then argues for the positive philosophical value of chemistry, reflecting its characteristic practical engagement with the material world. The book concludes with some ethical reflections concerning chemistry's orientations in the twenty-first century. |

Mobilizing the theme of impurity, it explores the tradition of chemistry's negative image. It then argues for the positive philosophical value of chemistry, reflecting its characteristic practical engagement with the material world. The book concludes with some ethical reflections concerning chemistry's orientations in the twenty-first century.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Chemistry.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85022986</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Chemistry</subfield><subfield code="x">Philosophy.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Chimie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Chimie</subfield><subfield code="x">Philosophie.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">chemistry.</subfield><subfield code="2">aat</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Chemistry</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Chemistry</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Chemistry</subfield><subfield code="x">Philosophy</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Simon, Jonathan,</subfield><subfield code="d">1964-</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCjtjY6v9Ydrh9xY3VP6xWC</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2005010602</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="710" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">World Scientific (Firm)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2001005546</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Chemistry (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFVq7PCfCdb4qgKqp6H4md</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Bensaude-Vincent, Bernadette.</subfield><subfield code="t">Chemistry.</subfield><subfield code="d">London : Imperial College Press ; Singapore : Distributed by World Scientific Pub.
