Focusing on the intersection of physical chemistry and philosophy, this work highlights Duhem's exploration of the historical and conceptual foundations of chemistry. He traces the ancient debate over mixtures, contrasting atomist and Aristotelian perspectives, while situating his own views within the Aristotelian framework. The text not only clarifies Duhem's contributions but also connects historical disputes to contemporary scientific issues. Written clearly and logically, it offers valuable insights into nineteenth-century thought and Duhem's philosophical stance without requiring advanced mathematical knowledge.
