Chenistry and Dynamics

The Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science precedes the systematization of Chemistry, pioneered by Lavoisier, so Kant's concept of Chemistry as a mere "art", despite his occasional references to it to illustrate his own theory, is justified at the time.  But, not only could he not have anticipated the ascendancy since of Chemistry as a science independent of Physics, he could not have appreciated his own prescience.  That is, insofar as the fundamental elements of modern Chemistry are entities constituted as, and distinguishable by, specific combinations of attractive and repulsive forces at one location, that science exemplifies Kant's theory of Dynamics.
