Sun Xiao · Journal of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications · 1999
On the basis of recognition of the Reduetionism and its classification,this paper presents comprehensive evaluation on it in a broad sense and a narrow sense.Ontological Reductionism is incorrect;Theoretic Reductionism is a positive guide line to promote science and a fundamental to achieve science′s unification;Methodological Reductionism is a necessary method of science′s acknowledgement and research.Physics and chemistry′s theories and methods are surely suitable for biological research,but biology can only be partly reduced to physics and chemistry,so biological motion pattern can not be thoroughly classified as phyisical and chemical motion pattern.
