Chemie + Geschichte = Chemiegeschichte?

“Chemistry + History = History of Chemistry?” by Christoph Meinel (German language) Christoph Meinel asks what defines the history of chemistry in relation to chemistry and the broader history of science. From early modern efforts to legitimate chymiatry, through nineteenth-century narratives of progress, to culturally informed history of science after the 1960s, he traces the field’s transformation. The history of chemistry emerges as a flexible area of inquiry spanning disciplinary identity, material culture, industry, publics, and philosophy.
