Primes

• Reductionism
  • Philosophy of science: the classic program of reducing thermodynamics to statistical mechanics, chemistry to physics, and biology to biochemistry, framed as inter-theoretic reduction in which the laws of the higher theory are derived from those of the lower together with bridge principles linking their vocabularies.

    This sourceRefines the model of inter-theoretic reduction and the role of bridge principles (and corrected analog theories) linking the vocabularies of the reducing and reduced theories.
