Contemporary Perspectives on Reductionism

It seemed, not a long while ago, that nonreductive approaches in philosophy of science had prevailed. Recently, however, a number of philosophers have re-examined the standard objections against reductionism, and have come to regard it again as viable. We invite the submission of papers contributing to the current discussion on reductionism, including the criticisms of the standard objections and the new arguments based on recent developments in science, from physics and biology to neuroscience.
