The Ontic Account of Explanatory Reduction,wo of which are necessary conditions, one of which is only a typical feature that most reductive explanations exhibit): they display a lower-level character, focus on factors that are internal to the biological object of interest, and describe the biological parts of this object only as parts in isolation.

Understanding what reductive explanations are enables one to assess the conditions under which reductive explanations are adequate and thus enhances debates about explanatory reductionism. The account of reductive explanation presented in this book has three

The result of my critical examination will be that Rosenberg’s perspective on explanatory reduction in biology has several shortcomings and that, even though Sarkar’s, Hüttemann’s, and Love’s encounters objections, too, it seems to be the more promising path to run.

Drawing Lessons from the Previous Debate, First, before you discuss whether reductionism or antireductionism is true you should seek to understand what reduction is. Second, if you seek to understand what reduction in actual biological practice is, you should be aware of the fact that epistemic issues rather than ontological issues are the

A Closer Look at Biological Explanations,t clarifies how questions about explanation are related to questions about explanatory reduction. I show that discussions about accounts of reduction are independent from questions about explanation but that debates about explanatory reductionism, in fact, boil down to specific questions about expla
