摘要：This paper discusses the mainstream discourse of chemistry and suggests a complementary discourse. On a disciplinary level, the discourse of chemistry is based on objectivism, rationalism, and molecular reductionism. On a societal level, the discourse is based on modernism. The aims of chemical research and education are often unclear, which nowadays often leads to an emphasis on the needs from industry. Integrating meta-perspectives (philoso-phical, historical, and socio-cultural) within chemical research and education practice would – apart from providing chemical Bildung to practitioners – also improve the image of chemistry, and in the long run create a more reflective and problematizing discourse
