The notion of reduction continues to play a key role in philosophy of mind and philosophy of cognitive science. In this book, the author applies developments in philosophy of science, the mechanistic explanation paradigm and the interventionist theory of causation, to reassess the traditional approaches to reduction in philosophy of mind.
