Description

Explore a fresh challenge to a major contemporary view in the philosophy of science. In What's Wrong With Microphysicalism?, Andreas Huttemann examines the influential idea that whole objects behave based on the behavior of their constituent parts. While many scholars follow this microphysicalist perspective, Huttemann provides a new way to look at the relationship between parts and wholes. This book is part of the International Library of Philosophy and offers a deep dive into the concept of determination. Huttemann agrees that compound systems can be explained through their parts, but he argues against a fundamentalism that gives total hegemony to the micro-level. Instead, he suggests a relationship of determination exists between the two levels without requiring one to dominate the other. Ideal for students and scholars interested in the history and philosophy of science, this work provides a rigorous academic perspective on how we understand the building blocks of our world. It is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the complex connections between physical parts and the systems they form.
