Why Philosophy of Chemistry?

The recent post on the talk The Nature of Chemical Bonding by Eric Scerri, connects to an emerging field of Philosophy of Chemistry promoted by him. Asking chatGPT about the role of philoposphy in science we get the message that 

• Philosophy of Quantum Mechanics is a very active field since 100 years. 
• Philosophy of Newtonian Mechanics has played out its role since "science is settled".
• Philosophy of Chemistry is a new field formed during the last 20 years. 

We are led to an idea that if a philosophy of a certain scientific discipline is currently an active topic, like philosophy of quantum mechanics and chemistry, it expresses that "science is not yet settled".  It signals that there are foundational questions which cannot be resolved within the discipline itself using the tools of the discipline, and a resort to some form of metaphysics or philosophy is brought in to help.  

Beginning in the later 19th century and culminating in the 1930s, a search for the foundations of mathematics engaged many famous mathematicians like Cantor, Russell, Hilbert and Brouwer without ever coming to any agreement and the interest then slowly faded away when computer science gave its resolution, leaving pure mathematicians to explore new ideas without worrying about the true nature of in particular the infinite set of real numbers and the set of all square integrable functions of real numbers. Giving them names was decided to be enough. Today philosophy of mathematics is largely viewed as "settled science".
