Philosophical Foundations of Chemistry under Ontological Discipline: A Critical–Propositive Reading of Philosophical Foundations of Chemistry, by Krishna Kant Sharma, in Light of the Theory of Objectivity

This article presents a critical–propositive reading of Krishna Kant Sharma’s Philosophical Foundations of Chemistry in light of the Theory of Objectivity (TO). It argues that Sharma’s defense of the ontological autonomy of chemistry, his critique of strict reductionism, and his emphasis on emergence and relationality establish important points of compatibility with the modal–axiomatic framework of TO. At the same time, the article maintains that Sharma’s account remains intramundane and does not fully address the deeper ontological question of why a universe capable of chemistry must exist at all. In response, the study develops a systematic confrontation between the philosophy of chemistry and the foundational and recent bibliography of TO, especially the seven Absolute Truths, the theorem of the perfect logical sphere, and the cosmological eras that precede the emergence of matter as ordinarily understood. The article argues that chemistry should be interpreted not merely as an autonomous scientific domain, but as a late manifestation of deeper logical and cosmological structures. Within this framework, concepts such as atomic memory, auric fields, boundary lines, the Expansive Inductive Effect (EIE), and the Reductive Inductive Effect (EIR) are mobilized to expand the ontological interpretation of chemical identity, stability, reactivity, and structural differentiation. The text also incorporates the hypothesis that neutrinos may be understood as phenomenic manifestations of the plasmas described in TO, thereby strengthening the continuity between cosmology and the later emergence of organized matter. In addition, it situates the discussion within a broader dialogue with major scientific and philosophical references, including Heisenberg, Einstein, Bohm, Prigogine and Stengers, Penrose, Hawking, Weinberg, Kuhn, and selected experimental or observational references such as Aspect’s Bell-test experiments, Planck CMB data, LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave observations, and recent JWST findings. A central thesis of the article is that the Theory of Objectivity does not seek to replace modern physics, chemistry, or cosmology. Rather, it is presented as a necessary logical, ontological, and scientific foundation for any model that aims to be fully coherent with a possible universe, given the modal necessity of its seven axioms. In this sense, the article positions the philosophy of chemistry within a broader ontological discipline, arguing that the autonomy of chemistry becomes more robust when grounded in a universal theory of emergence, distinction, observation, composition, and transcendence. The study is written in formal academic language and is intended as a contribution to contemporary debates on the ontology of science, the foundations of chemistry, and the possibility of a logically grounded cosmological framework capable of integrating empirical science without displacing it.
