Textbook in PDF format At present, the philosophy of chemistry is a vigorous branch of the philosophy of science, congregating researchers from all around the world. The International Society for the Philosophy of Chemistry (ISPC), founded in 1997, sponsors annual meetings since its foundation, in which scholars share their research results and discuss current topics of the area. The subdiscipline is also covered by two special ized publications, Foundations of Chemistry (since 1999, official journal of the ISPC), and Hyle–International Journal for Philosophy of Chemistry (since 1995). Despite this intense activity, the philosophy of chemistry has consolidated very recently when compared, for instance, with the philosophy of physics and the philosophy of biology, a fact that contrasts with the long history of chemistry as a scientific discipline. The question is what explains this relatively delayed consolidation. Part I Quantum Chemistry: History and Practices Quantum Chemistry in Historical Perspective How Chemical Is Quantum Chemistry?
