However, just as problematic, at least from the view of Dennett's term "greedy reductionism",reductionism is often employed to "explain away" phenomena. <br />Pellegrino Luciano<br /><br />8:32 AM, August 04, 2008<br />Blogger Al West said...<br />Interesting post. I think that the distinction between mild and strong forms of holism is difficult to maintain. It is only because humans aren't clever enough that we have to resort to this form of holism, I think. If we were a tad smarter, we might be able to conceive of a machine entirely in terms of its component parts and their properties without recourse to wholes, even contingent, practical ones, for explanation.<br /><br />4:19 PM, January 06, 2013Metamorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199074976158603981noreply@blogger.com
