Abstract
We report on an experimental seminar in the philosophy of chemistry that brought together a philosopher, a physical chemist, an organic chemist, an inorganic chemist, and four undergraduates to discuss foundational aspects of chemistry. The structure of the seminar and the readings are discussed, and an assessment is given of the lasting curricular and pedagogical effects on both the faculty and students involved.
