Centenary Workshop on the Bifurcation of Acidity -Protonism vs. Electronism
On March 7, 2023, a personal circle was closed.Thirty years ago, a handful of young academics founded what they called the "APC" (Arbeitskreis Philosophie und Chemie) in my home institution, Coburg ́s small university (Upper Franconia/Bavaria/Germany).Latest after that June 1993, my main research interests turned to the history and philosophy of chemistry.Hence, with the Centenary Workshop, I am happy to look back to a busy period filled with (ho…
Bifurcations
In this short essay I address the central topic of the Centenary Workshop on Acidity, that is the relations of the classical protonist acid–base theory by Brønsted and the electronist approach by Lewis. Emphasis is laid on the empirical background of both approaches and the over-theoretization of chemical phenomena (essentialism) is criticized
Chemistry is pluralistic
Recently, philosophers have come forth with approaches to chemistry based on its actual practice, imparting to it a proper aim and character of its own. These approaches add to the currently growing movement of pluralist philosophies of science. We draw on recent pluralist accounts from (the philosophy of) chemistry and analyse three notions from modern chemical practice and theory (acidity, electronegativity and the concept of element) in terms …
