Reviews | ||
Of Minds and Molecules Let me be the first to congratulate Nalini Bhushan and the late Stuart Rosenfeld on editing a new anthology just published by Oxford University Press and entitled Of Minds and Molecules. They have assembled together a very interesting and diverse collection of articles on the subject of philosophy of chemistry. Their editorial introduction and introduction to the field is excellent as are many of the articles written by philosophers, chemists and educators. At the end of the day you can have international conferences, web servers, new journals, internet journals and special issues but what really defines a field is still one slim monograph which collects together, in a coherent and inter-related fashion, all the modern themes being studied. This is the book which will define the field. If you have even a passing interest in history and philosophy of chemistry you need to own this book. | ||
