Publisher's Synopsis

Chemistry began as the occult science of alchemy. In the 17th century, it became a mechanical science, and then, about 1800, it began to be understood as a fundamental science. It was also seen as the experimental science "par excellence", as a useful science, a deductive science, a classifying science, a service science, and so on. This book provides an account of the development of chemistry, outlining both its intellectual and institutional history.
