Preface; Introduction; Part I. Groundwork: 1. Scientific composition, the
universe and everything: or, reductionism and emergentism in the sciences
and philosophy; 2. A beginning framework for scientific composition; Part
II. The Roots of Reduction: 3. How to be a scientific reductionist:
defending 'nothing but' claims and an ultimate scientific image; 4.
Understanding scientific reductionism: fundamentalist views of ontology,
laws, theories, and methodology; Part III. The Fruits of Emergence: 5. The
varieties of emergence: their natures, purposes and obligations; 6. A whole
lot more from 'nothing but': conditioned aggregation, machresis and the
possibility of strong emergence; 7. Understanding scientific emergentism: a
mutualist nature and its interdependent levels, laws and sciences; Part IV.
New Landscapes, New Horizons: 8. Our competing visions of nature and the
sciences: illuminating the deeper debates and viable positions; 9. Making
the issues concrete: the scientific hypotheses and their empirical
differences; 10. The age of reduction versus the age of emergence: what has
been successfully shown from the sciences (so far); Glossary; Bibliography;
Index.
