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 (hopefully not always unsuccessful) teaching, instructing, and administrating.During that very period, however, I also witnessed (and took part in) the birth and development of what some observers tend to call modern philosophy of chemistry.The idea to hold a meeting on the mentioned topic emerged from my research activities over the last almost ten years, during which I was lucky to spend some time at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science in Cambridge and collaborate with Hasok Chang (Ruthenberg and Chang 2017, 2020).In 2022, Eric Scerri published a paper in this journal, in which he supported what I call the electronistic position regarding acidity, which commenced with Gilbert Lewis ́ book "Valence" in 1923.Hence, it seemed to be a natural step to ask both scholars to contribute to our Workshop, and I was extremely happy that the two of them agreed to do this
