Abstract

This book is the publication of the Author's PhD thesis in History, discussed on February 2023 at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of Maastricht University. Johan Alfredo Linthorst got a Master's degree in Chemistry at the University of Groningen in 2004 and a second Master's degree for teacher training in chemical education at Fontys University of Applied Sciences in 2005. He is involved in chemistry education at pre-university level since 2003. Parallel to his interest in teaching chemistry, including designing and publishing new experiments for students, he developed a personal interest in the history and philosophy of sciences and chemistry in particular. In this connection, in 2005 he started his research at Maastricht University as an external PhD candidate which culminated with his dissertation, which constitutes the present publication.
