| 3425 | Reduction has been defined as deriving one theory from another by logic and maths [Nagel,E, by Kim] |
| 6550 | Reduction requires that an object's properties consist of its constituents' properties and relations [Sellars] |
| 5791 | Reduction is either by elimination, or by explanation [Searle] |
| 5799 | Eliminative reduction needs a gap between appearance and reality, as in sunsets [Searle] |
| 3473 | Reduction can be of things, properties, ideas or causes [Searle] |
| 6984 | Smooth reductions preserve high-level laws in the lower level [Jackson] |
| 2317 | Reductionism is good on light, genes, temperature and transparency [Kim, by PG] |
| 3990 | The whole truth supervenes on the physical truth [Lewis] |
| 8607 | Supervenience is reduction without existence denials, ontological priorities, or translatability [Lewis] |
| 5516 | Reduction can be by identity, or constitution, or elimination [Parfit, by PG] |
| 4986 | A weaker kind of reductionism than direct translation is the use of 'bridge laws' [Kirk,R] |
| 6531 | Institutions are not reducible as types, but they are as tokens [Lycan] |
| 6532 | Types cannot be reduced, but levels of reduction are varied groupings of the same tokens [Lycan] |
| 21110 | An understanding of the most basic physics should explain all of the subject's mysteries [Krauss] |
| 7017 | The reductionist programme dispenses with levels of reality [Heil] |
| 15050 | Reduction might be producing a sentence which gets closer to the logical form [Fine,K] |
| 15051 | Reduction might be semantic, where a reduced sentence is understood through its reduction [Fine,K] |
| 15052 | Reduction is modal, if the reductions necessarily entail the truth of the target sentence [Fine,K] |
| 15056 | The notion of reduction (unlike that of 'ground') implies the unreality of what is reduced [Fine,K] |
| 18539 | Our categories lack the neat arrangement needed for reduction [Heil] |
| 7508 | Good reductionism connects fields of knowledge, but doesn't replace one with another [Pinker] |
| 14599 | Three types of reduction: Theoretical (of terms), Definitional (of concepts), Ontological (of reality) [Schaffer,J] |
| 7944 | Reduce by bridge laws (plus property identities?), by elimination, or by reducing talk [Macdonald,C] |
| 22180 | Multiple realisability is said to make reduction impossible [Okasha] |
| 16345 | That Peano arithmetic is interpretable in ZF set theory is taken by philosophers as a reduction [Halbach] |
