Chemistry, Paradigms, and a View of Epistemic Pluralism: to the Issue of the Nature of Disagreements in Philosophy and in Science

First of all, I would like to say that perhaps my paper would have found a more appropriate place in the section of General Philosophy of Science, or Historical Aspects in the Philosophy of Science of this conference. I am disappointed that there is no separate session for the philosophy of chemistry at this congress, as it was at the previous congress in 2011 in Nancy. As you can see, the title of my discussion mentions chemistry. Although I do not intend to talk about the specific problems of the philosophy of chemistry, I would still like to emphasize that chemistry, especially its historical practice, has attracted more and more attention in the philosophy of science in recent decades, influencing the turn from the vision of science as a timeless logic-centred system of statements towards the historyand practice-centred approach.
