The Fundamental Principles of Chemistry: An Introduction to All Text-Books of Chemistry (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fundamental Principles of Chemistry
In Chemistry research of this kind has been undertaken only casually and over small portions of the field. Franz Wald is one of the independents who has been working along this line for many years. General appreciation of the fundamental character of such investigation extends very slowly indeed. Three years ago, on the occasion of the Faraday lecture, I made an attempt to arouse the interest of chemists in these matters, but the result was not very encouraging. But few expressions of opinion were offered on this occasion, and these were largely contradictory in nature. It was quite evident that the question at issue was not clearly understood, and the entire matter was strange, even to chemists of note. But I know from personal experience that patient and continued labour can accomplish wonders even when the case seems hopeless. One must wait for the right time, and I am convinced that the time for this matter has arrived.

The Fundamental Principles of Chemistry (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a philosophical approach to the fundamental principles of chemistry, exploring how they can be understood and applied in a systematic way. The author argues that the science of chemistry has become too focused on empirical observations and has neglected the importance of analyzing fundamental concepts, a practice that has proven fruitful in other sciences. Inspired by the work of Franz Wald and a desire to correct what he sees as a fundamental error in previous theories, the author seeks to re-establish the foundations of chemistry, stripping them of unnecessary assumptions and focusing on the interconnectedness of core concepts. The book's exploration of topics such as bodies, substances, properties, chemical processes, energy, volume, weight, mass, density, and heat provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the nature of matter. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the distinctions between arbitrary and specific properties, as well as the different ways in which quantities and intensities can be measured. Throughout the book, the author consistently highlights the importance of scientific laws as summaries of repeated experiences and emphasizes the ongoing nature of scientific inquiry. This book offers a unique and insightful perspective on the foundations of chemistry, challenging readers to think critically about the core principles of the science and to consider the role of philosophical analysis in scientific progress.
