The philosophy of chemistry has emerged in recent years as a new and autonomous field within the Anglo-American philosophical tradition. 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.
