In contemporary philosophy of science, ontological reductionism, or
the claim that everything that exists in the world is something
physical, is the consensus mainstream position. Contrary to a
widespread belief, this book establishes that ontological and
epistemological reductionism stand or fall together. The author
proposes a new strategy of conservative theory reduction that
operates by means of the construction of functional sub-concepts
that are coextensional with physical concepts. Thus, a complete
conservative reductionism is established that vindicates both the
indispensable scientific character of the special sciences and
their reducibility to physics. The second part of the book works
this strategy out, using the example of classical and molecular
genetics.
