Using simple physical examples, this work by Erhard Scheibe
presents an important and powerful approach to the reduction of
physical theories. Novel to the approach is that it is not based,
as usual, on a single reduction concept that is fixed once and for
all, but on a series of recursively constructed reductions, with
which all reductions appear as combinations of very specific
elementary reductions. This leaves the general notion of theory
reduction initially open and is beneficial for the treatment of the
difficult cases of reduction from the fields of special and general
relativity, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics,and quantum
mechanics, which are treated in the second volume. The book is
systematically organized and intended for readers interested in
philosophy of science as well as physicists without deep
philosophical knowledge.
