Can structural realism leave the comfort zone?
This essay critically examines the recent interpretation of the transition from phlogiston theory to contemporary chemistry developed through the lens of structural realism. This interpretation seeks to establish a correspondence between phlogistication/dephlogistication and reduction/oxidation processes, lending support to the preservation of structures amidst theory change. Here, we argue against the tenability of such a structuralist view on s…
The Fuzzy Logic of the Chemical Bond
I present two arguments concerning the metaphysics of the chemical bond—the interatomic state underlying the structure of matter—by examining its structural and energetic conceptions. First, I argue that these conceptions of the chemical bond are plagued by an inherent vagueness owing to their sorites-susceptibility. Second, I argue that such vagueness can be remedied through infinite-valued semantics via a compatibility function that assigns deg…
