Recensioner i media

“Reductive Explanation in the Biological Sciences offers a novel philosophical perspective on explanatory reduction by fruitfully distinguishing different important characteristics explanations may have. The account also excels by offering metaphilosophical reflections on normativity in philosophy of science.” (Ingo Brigandt, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, ndpr.nd.edu, August, 2016)
