Technical Aspects of Reduction and Multiple Realizability - a podcast by MCMP Team

Sebastian Lutz (MCMP/LMU) gives a talk at the MCMP conference "Reduction and Emergence in the Sciences" (14-16 November, 2013) titled "Technical Aspects of Reduction and Multiple Realizability". Abstract: In my talk, I will suggest conceptualizations of reducibility, supervenience and non-reductive physicalism within type theory and model theory. The conception of reduction is Nagelian in spirit but logically significantly different, and one of the suggested conceptions of non-reductive physicalism captures Fodor’s claims about disjunctive properties without relying on his problematic assumptions about natural kinds.
