CHAMIZO, José Antonio. Philosophy of chemistry II. About the thinking style of chemical practices. Educ. quím [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.4, pp.16-35.  Epub Jan 22, 2024. ISSN 0187-893X.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fq.18708404e.2023.4.86592.

Using as an example the investigations, which were awarded the Nobel Prizes for Physiology, Physics and Chemistry in 2022, the chemical practices are characterized and discussed. They have established a style of thought that make them omnipresent, and at the same time invisible, for most scientists and society in general. On the basis of the own method of chemical practices (analysis and synthesis), such a style is summarized in the words: knowing by doing.

Keywords : Chemical practices; 2022’ Nobel Prizes; styles of thinking; analysis and synthesis; learning by doing..
