Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book presents a conservative ontological reductionism, asserting that all properties in the world are functional and causal. It explores the concept of functional reduction, developing it into a comprehensive theory through the identification of functional sub-types that align with physical types. The authors support their arguments with case studies from biology, illustrating how this framework can enhance our understanding of the relationship between functional properties and their physical counterparts.
