Alexander Rosenberg
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Alexander Rosenberg is an American philosopher, and the R. Taylor Cole Professor of Philosophy at Duke University. Rosenberg was educated at Stuyvesant High School, the City College of New York and Johns Hopkins University. He received the Lakatos Award in 1993 and was the National Phi Beta Kappa Romanell Lecturer in 2006. His early work focused on the philosophy of social science and especially the philosophy of economics. His doctoral dissertation, published as Microeconomic Laws in 1976, was the first treatment of the nature of economics by a contemporary philosopher of science. Over the period of the next decade he became increasingly skeptical about neoclassical economics as an empirical theory. Rosenberg later shifted to work on issues in the philosophy of science that are raised by biology.

Reduction and Mechanism
Reductionism is a widely endorsed methodology among biologists, a metaphysical theory advanced to vindicate the biologist's methodology, and an epistemic thesis those opposed to reductionism have been eager to refute. While the methodology has gone from strength to strength in its history of achievements, the metaphysical thesis grounding it remained controversial despite its significant changes over the last 75 years of the philosophy of science. Meanwhile, antireductionism about biology, and especially Darwinian natural selection, became orthodoxy in philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology. This Element expounds the debate about reductionism in biology, from the work of the post-positivists to the end of the century debates about supervenience, multiple realizability, and explanatory exclusion. It shows how the more widely accepted 21st century doctrine of 'mechanism' - reductionism with a human face - inherits both the strengths and the challenges of the view it has largely supplanted.
