Description

What's Wrong With Microphysicalism? challenges a foundational assumption in contemporary philosophy and science. Microphysicalism holds that complex objects behave as they do because of their constituent parts' behaviour, a view with deep roots in both philosophical tradition and scientific practice. Andreas Huttemann presents a rigorous critique that distinguishes between explaining compound systems through their parts and accepting an extreme reductionism that privileges the micro-level exclusively. The book argues that whilst we can indeed explain complex systems by understanding their components, this explanatory success does not require accepting that fundamental reality exists only at the smallest scale. Instead, Huttemann proposes that parts and wholes exist in a relationship of determination rather than strict reduction. This work is essential for philosophers of science, metaphysicists, and anyone interested in understanding the limits of reductionist thinking in contemporary philosophy.

Key Features

Andreas Huttemann offers a comprehensive philosophical critique of microphysicalism and its claims about the nature of composite objects.

The book explores the distinction between explaining compound systems through their parts and accepting strict micro-level fundamentalism.

What's Wrong With Microphysicalism? examines the relationship of determination between component parts and whole systems in philosophy of science.
