Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a philosophical approach to the fundamental principles of chemistry, exploring how they can be understood and applied in a systematic way. The author argues that the science of chemistry has become too focused on empirical observations and has neglected the importance of analyzing fundamental concepts, a practice that has proven fruitful in other sciences. Inspired by the work of Franz Wald and a desire to correct what he sees as a fundamental error in previous theories, the author seeks to re-establish the foundations of chemistry, stripping them of unnecessary assumptions and focusing on the interconnectedness of core concepts. The book's exploration of topics such as bodies, substances, properties, chemical processes, energy, volume, weight, mass, density, and heat provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the nature of matter. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinctions between arbitrary and specific properties, as well as the different ways in which quantities and intensities can be measured. Throughout the book, the author consistently highlights the importance of scientific laws as summaries of repeated experiences and emphasizes the ongoing nature of scientific inquiry. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the foundations of chemistry, challenging readers to think critically about the core principles of the science and to consider the role of philosophical analysis in scientific progress.
