Muchos problemas, que suelen abordarse solo en su dimensión epistemológica en la filosofía de las ciencias, presentan una importante dimensión ontológica que no debe desatenderse. Sobre la base de esta convicción, nos interesa especialmente abordar problemas relativos a la ontología de las nanociencias, en particular: ¿de qué tipo de entidades está poblado el &#8220;nanomundo&#8221;?, ¿cuál es la naturaleza de dichas entidades?, ¿cómo puede caracterizarse y comprenderse este dominio? Con este propósito, analizaremos de qué modo pueden caracterizarse los nanomateriales o nanopartículas y cuál es el lugar que estas entidades ocupan en el mundo químico. En particular, se argumentará que al nivel de la nanoquímica las categorías ontológicas de individuo y de materia no son adecuadas, y se requiere una nueva categoría, cuya naturaleza intermedia se manifiesta en el lenguaje: usamos el término &#8216;nanopartículas&#8217; cuando pensamos en individuos, mientras que hablamos de &#8216;nanomateriales&#8217; cuando pensamos en materia.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The aim of this article is to formulate some philosophical problems resulting from the analysis of the field of nanosciences, taking certain discussions coming from the philosophy of chemistry as the departing point. Many problems, usually approached to in their epistemological dimension in the philosophy of science, are endowed with a relevant ontological dimension that should not be disregarded. On the basis of this belief, we are particularly interested in the problems related to the ontology of nanosciences, specifically: Of what kind of entities is the nanoworld populated? Which is the nature of those entities? How can this domain be characterized and understood? With this purpose, we will analyze how nanomaterials or nanoparticles can be characterized and what place these entities occupy in the chemical world. In particular, we will argue that, in the level of nano-chemistry, the ontological categories of individual and stuff are not adequate, and a new category is required, whose intermediate nature is manifested in language: we use the term &#8216;nanoparticles&#8217; when we think in individuals, whereas we talk of &#8216;nanomaterials&#8217; when we think in stuff.]]></p></abstract>
