Objectif

CREACAL will realise an unprecedented study of chemical reactions from the perspective of causation and lawhood, with the aim to establish a rigorous framework for the philosophical investigation of chemical reactions. Chemical reactions are fundamental to science and engineering as they identify the causes of the transformation of a specific set of chemical substances, while at the same time representing lawlike generalisations about transformations of types of chemical substances. However philosophers have neglected chemical reactions; they have not examined them either with respect to causation or with lawhood. This is a clear lacuna in the philosophical literature given that reactions are the main means with which scientists explain chemical transformation. CREACAL will synthesise these two fields to offer an account of laws and causation that not only does justice to the rich yet under-explored knowledge of reactions, but that also deepens our understanding of causation and laws themselves. CREACAL’s results will contribute to science by illuminating the intricate features of chemical reactions that are revealed by viewing them as causes and laws. Moreover, it will fill a significant gap in philosophy by introducing a new case study for the investigation of causation and lawhood, while also achieving genuine progress in philosophy of chemistry that will further consolidate the latter as an important field within philosophy.
