Abstract
Whether scientists describe the world with a mathematical equation, a pictorial representation or a diagram, one thing is almost always the case: there is some degree of idealisation involved. In recent years, the use of idealisations has drawn the attention of philosophers. In fact, their work has illuminated the fascinating role of idealisations in understanding not only chemical practice and education, but also the chemical world itself.
