| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | This Element explores the debate surrounding reductionism in biology, tracing its development from the post-positivist era to the late 20th-century discussions on supervenience, multiple realizability, and explanatory exclusion. It illustrates how the more widely accepted 21st-century doctrine of "mechanism"—often described as "reductionism with a human face"—inherits both the strengths and challenges of the perspective it has largely replaced. |
