Abstract

Chemistry is the intellectual adventure of Mankind in his excursion through his own material being. As this journey unfolds, so Mankind discovers the complex connection between matter and its emergent spiritual manifestations. Chemistry defines the limitation of the power over matter, and exemplifies this limitation by, for example, pollution and chemical warfare. Ruling over matter means also mastering the right ways of tinkering with it. These and other aspects of our science are discussed in this essay.
