About some difficulties of methodological inoculations in the history of chemistry

The reduced interest to the philosophical methodological problems of Chemistry is connected with its empiric character and the presence of theories possessing the less degree of abstractedness in comparison with those in Physics. Many questions of genesis, knowledge development and operation in Chemistry stay out of the indicated interest, while many of them need a new methodological interpretation. In this paper the analysis of disputable questions of genesis in scientific Chemistry is given on the base of methodological conceptions of scientific knowledge development and operation which are created by well-known Russian scientists V.S. Styopin, M.A. Rosov, V.I. Kusnetsov. The specific way of systematization in subject structures of chemical practice as well as the operation and competitive struggle of research and collecting programs in the history of Chemistry development have been distinguished. Particular emphasis is placed upon the process of chemical reality image formation, which contributed to the systems integrity of chemical knowledge in the XIX century. Chemistry always kept to the main goal in its complicated evolution: the preparation of substances with necessary properties. At present it is solved at the fourth conceptual level (chemistry of self-organization) and it faces considerable difficulties in evolutionary Chemistry which is formed now.
