CHAPTER NINE
Holism and Antireductionism in Sociology and Psychology
Among social scientists there is a long tradition of insisting that the distinctive subject matter of their sciences are facts that are not psychology, whether matters of prediction or interpretation. Instead, their sciences explain autonomous social facts by other social facts, and neither is reducible to more basic facts about individual people or anything else. The same type of argument is advanced by psychologists to deny the relevance of basic sciences, such as neuroscience, to its research agenda. In this chapter we examine the structurally similar arguments of antireductionist social scientists and psychologists.
