This comprehensive book delves into the realm of quantum chemistry, exploring its philosophical foundations and principles. Written by esteemed experts in the field, the contributions offer insightful analyses of quantum chemistry as a discipline, particularly its relationship with chemistry and physics from the perspectives of realism and reduction. The coverage spans various topics, including quantum chemistry as a "in-between" discipline, molecular structure and quantum mechanics, quantum chemical models, and atoms and molecules in quantum chemistry.

The primary aim of this book is twofold. Firstly, the contributions seek to revitalize and update the discussions surrounding the foundations of quantum chemistry. Secondly, they endeavor to cultivate new philosophical perspectives that this discipline can offer to philosophers of science.

From its inception, quantum chemistry occupied a peculiar position within the disciplinary landscape. On the one hand, it is a branch of theoretical chemistry, drawing upon theoretical tools from physics. On the other hand, it inherently appeals to theoretical concepts rooted in physics. This unique positioning sparked conceptual inquiries about its own identity. Within the pages of this book, readers will discover revised discussions on the foundations and philosophy of this intricate and complex discipline.
