Here Looijen argues that they shouldrather be seen as mutually dependent and hence co-operating researchprogrammes. He sheds some interesting new light on the emergencethesis, its relation to the reduction thesis, and on the role andstatus of functional explanations in biology. He discusses severalexamples of reduction in both biology and ecology, showing the mutualdependence of holistic and reductionist research programmes.Ecologists are offered separate chapters, clarifying some major, yethighly and controversial ecological concepts, such as `community‘,`habitat‘, and `niche‘. The book is the first in-depth study of thephilosophy of ecology. ..Readership:. Specialists in the philosophy of science, especiallythe philosophy of biology, biologists and ecologists interested in thephilosophy of their discipline. Also of interest to other scientistsconcerned with the holism-reductionism issue. | | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | | 关键词 | Seen; biogeography; biology; ecology; philosophy; philosophy of biology; philosophy of science; reduction; s | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-9560-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-5364-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-9560-5 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2000 |
