Workshop: Basic ideas in philosophy of chemistry

Philosophy of chemistry appeared within the last thirty years as a subfield of philosophy of science. The basic general ideas which appeared during the development of chemical concepts will be presented: the problem of structure, the methods of analogy and systematizations, the origins of periodic system of chemical elements, the problem of chemical identity, as well as the modelling of electronic structure of molecules. The discussion will be extended to the concepts of complexity, reductionism-holism, emergence, and the position of chemistry between physics and biology.
