The very idea of non-reductionist science

pp. 153-173
Throughout the previous chapters we have talked about a non-reductionist science. In this chapter, we want to clarify what that means. We first look at the very successful notion of scientific reductionism as it gets used in the natural and social sciences. We then focus on some complications for the reductionist project in cognitive science that derive from embodied approaches to cognition, and ask we how it's possible to do science in this context.
