The author is primarily concerned with the analysis of the elusive concept of theory reduction, with attention to the physical sciences. He provides an historical account of the problem, canvasses current standard views, and advances his own distinctive theory&#151the reduction of physical theories via concept replacement. <BR> <H2>About the Author(s)</H2> <P><b>Marshall Spector</b> is Associate Professor of Philosophy at SUNY Stony Brook.</P> <BR><H2>Subject Categories</H2> <p><A HREF="/tempress/science.html" TARGET="_top">Science</a> </p> <p align="center"><a href="https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart/ChicagoBook.aspx?ISBN=9780877221319&&PRESS=temple" target="_top">Buy this book!</a> | <a href="https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart/Cart.aspx?PRESS=temple" target="_top">View Cart</a> | <a href="https://cdcshoppingcart.uchicago.edu/Cart/Cart.aspx?PRESS=temple" target="_top">Check Out</a></p><p><font face="Arial" size="1"><a href="copyright.html" onMouseOver="window.status='Web Copyright Policy';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''" title="Web Copyright Policy">©</a> 2015 <a href="http://www.temple.edu" target="new" onMouseOver="window.status='Link to Temple University home page';return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''" title="Link to Temple University home page">Temple University</a>.
