Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This bookdevelops a philosophical account that reveals the major characteristics that make an explanation in the life sciences reductive and distinguish them from non-reductive explanations. Understanding what reductive explanations are enables one to asses…s 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 major characteristics. First, it emerges from a critical reconstruction of the explanatory practice of the life sciences itself. Second, the account is monistic since it specifies one set of criteria that apply to explanations in the life sciences in general. Finally, theaccount is ontic in that it traces the reductivity of an explanationback to certain relations that exist between objects in the world (such as part-whole relations and level relations), rather than to the logical relations between sentences. Beginning with a disclosure of the meta-philosophical assumptions that underlie the author's analysis of reductive explanation, the book leads into the debateabout reduction(ism) in the philosophy of biology and continues witha discussion on the two perspectives on explanatory reduction thathave been proposed in the philosophy of biology so far. The author scrutinizes how the issue of reduction becomes entangled withexplanation and analyzes two concepts, the concept of a biological part and the concept of a level of organization. The results of these five chapters constitute the ground on which the author basesher final chapter, developing her ontic account of reductive explanation.
