Rein Vihalemm: ‘The Cognitive Move from Being (Immediate Phaenomena) to Essence in the History of the Study of Chemical Affinity’

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the transition of cognition from immediate phaenomena (Being) to essence on the example of the history of the study of chemical affinity. (The history of the cognition of chemical affinity is, properly speaking, the history of the cognition of chemism, the chemical form of motion in general.) With regard to this, attention will be paid on the sensuous-practical, rational (but short of experiments and theory), empirical (experimental), and theoretical levels of cognition (see Vihalemm, 2022).
