Subject: PKF: Foundations of Chemistry



New Journal from Kluwer: Foundations of Chemistry
edited by E.R. Scerri and W.B. Jensen

Scope of Journal

The new journal will take an interdisciplinary approach to the study of
philosophy of chemistry.  The aim is to foster discourse between chemists,
biochemists, philosophers, historians, sociologists and educators with an
interest in foundational issues relating to the chemical sciences.  We 
will concentrate on articles which take a naturalistic approach to
foundations of chemistry, in the sense of paying close attention to actual
research in chemistry.  The scope of the journal will range from
analytical philosophy such as work on chemical terms and natural kinds to
institutional.

Call for Papers

     We aim to publish the proceedings of the session on "Chemistry and
Philosophy, Are they Miscible?", held at the American Chemical Society
meeting in San Francisco, April 1997, as part of the first few issues
of Foundations of Chemistry. The journal also invites other submissions
on foundational issues of chemistry as described above. Inquiries etc.
should be directed to Eric Scerri, preferably by E-mail at the following
address: scerri-AT-hss.caltech.edu
