Transcending the Emergence/Reduction Distinction: The Case of Biology
Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 56:1-2 (2005)
Abstract
The groups of problems that fall under the titles ‘reduction’ and ‘emergence’ appear at the boundaries of seemingly independent and well-established scientific disciplines, such as chemistry and biology, biology and psychology, biology and political theory, and so on. They arise in this wayAuthor's Profile
