About this product

Product Information

In this original and important book, Harold Kincaid defends a view of the special sciences-all sciences outside physics-as autonomous and nonreducible. He argues that the biological and social sciences provide explanations that cannot be captured by explanations at the level of their constituent parts, and yet that this does not commit us to mysterious, nonphysical entitites like vital forces or group minds. A look at real scientific practice shows that the many different sciences can be unified in a way that leaves them each an autonomous explanatory role. This book will be of great interest to philosophers of science and social scientists.

Reviews
This book is a gem. . . . well organized, clearly argued, and deeply provocative. Highly recommended for all collections in the philosophy of science., This is solid scholarship: original, intellectually topical, well-researched, and well-written . . . excellent., Individualism and the Unity of Science is an important book for anyone concerned with issues of reduction and explanation in the sciences as well as for those concerned with individualism in the social sciences, especially because it brings together some of the strongest empirical evidence yet marshalled against reductionism and individualism., An excellent piece of work...definitely cutting edge, clearly written, significant and original. It will become the touchstone for further work in this area.
