单词 chemism
释义

chemism

/ˈkɛmɪz(ə)m/
noun
In early use: †a chemical energy or process thought to be responsible for the formation of new compounds (obsolete ). Later: chemical action, behaviour, or activity.
  • Frequently in the context of Hegel's theory of objectivity, which considers chemical processes as characterized by the alteration of the nature of the active objects, e.g. in an acid and a base reacting to produce a salt. Hegel thus presents chemical processes as a developmental stage between mechanical processes and the purposive activity characteristic of biological organisms..

Origin

Early 19th century; earliest use found in Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834), poet, critic, and philosopher. From chem- + -ism, probably after German Chemismus.
