Authors:
- Proposes and illustrates a simple criterion for evaluating any philosophical doctrine: Does it help advance knowledge?
- Clearly written, and avoids the use of obscure technical terms
- Argues for an emergentist and non-reductionist view of materialism, as well as for a non-posivist version of scientism, and a systemic alternative to both individualism and holism. ?
Part of the book series: Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science (BSPS, volume 295)
