Philosophical Chemistry

Philosophical Chemistry: Genealogy of a Scientific Field furthers Manuel DeLanda's revolutionary intervention in the Philosophy of Science and Science Studies, last instigated in the ground-breaking Philosophy and Simulation: The Emergence of Synthetic Reason. Against a monadic and totalizing understanding of Science, DeLanda's historicizing investigation traces the centrality of divergence, specialization and hybridization through the fields and subfields of Chemistry. The strategy followed uses a series of Chemical textbooks, separated from each other by fifty year periods (1750, 1800, 1850, and 1900), to follow the historical formation of consensus practices. The book is organized into three main chapters, each one dealing with one subfield of chemistry in the century in which it was developed. Eighteenth-century inorganic chemistry is discussed in the first chapter, followed by nineteenth-century organic chemistry in the second, and by nineteenth-century physical chemistry in the third. This book creates a model of a scientific field capable of accommodating the variation and differentiation evident in the history of scientific practice. DeLanda proposes a model that is made of three components: a domain of phenomena, a community of practitioners, and a set of instruments and techniques connecting the community to the domain. Philosophical Chemistry will be essential reading for those engaged in emergent, radical and contemporary strands of thought in the Philosophy of Science (including the relatively new study of the Philosophy of Chemistry), and for those scholars and students who strive to practice a productive dialogue between the two disciplines.
