International Society for the Philosophy of Chemistry 2016

The International Society for the Philosophy of Chemistry (ISPC) is devoted to the international exchange of ideas concerning the philosophical foundations of the chemical sciences and related areas. This exchange fosters discourse between chemists, biochemists, philosophers, historians, sociologists and educators.

Philosophy of chemistry concerns both internal questions arising from the methods, concepts, and ontology unique to chemistry and chemical research as well as traditional questions in the philosophy of science, addressed from a chemical perspective. Although philosophy of chemistry is a reflecting discipline in the first place, it is also considered to contribute constructively to the image of chemistry in science, education, and society.
