More about the book
Focusing on the philosophical and historical dimensions of physical chemistry, this work explores Duhem's insights into the ancient debate on the nature of mixtures, linking it to contemporary scientific concerns. Drawing from atomist and Aristotelian distinctions, Duhem articulates his views on chemical combination within the Aristotelian framework. The text serves as both a clarification of Duhem's contributions and a bridge connecting historical debates to modern science, all presented in a clear and logical manner without requiring advanced mathematical knowledge.
