Philosophy of Chemistry:
Perspectives and Directions
The philosophy of chemistry has come into its own in the past decade. The
journal, Foundations of Chemistry [http://www.cco.caltech.edu/~scerri/]
will launch at the beginning of 1999. Synthese, volume 111, issue 3 was
devoted entirely to the philosophy of chemistry. There have been numerous
meetings and conferences all over the world-London, Boston, New Orleans,
Rome, San Francisco, Athens, Marburg, Bradford, Konstanz, Mexico City-in
the past decade devoted to the philosophy of chemistry. A listserv
[[log in to unmask]] now has more than 250 subscribers. Clearly a new
discipline bringing together chemistry and the philosophy of science has
been born. This conference will address the variety of directions that this
new discipline might take.
