Book Synopsis Re-Engineering Philosophy for Limited Beings by : William C. Wimsatt
Book excerpt: Analytic philosophers once pantomimed physics, trying to understand the world by breaking it down. Thinkers from the Darwinian sciences now pose alternatives to such reductionism. Wimsatt argues that today’s scientists seek to atomize phenomena only to understand how entities, events, and processes articulate at different levels.
