More about the book

Exploring the historical evolution of the understanding of water's composition, the book delves into significant scientific phases from the 1760s to the 1860s, including the Chemical Revolution and early electrochemistry. It argues that the empirical evidence of the time was insufficient to justify the scientific consensus on water as H2O, prompting a re-evaluation of realism in scientific philosophy. With a layered structure for varying levels of engagement, it combines philosophy, history, and science to enhance comprehension of scientific development.
