dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the claim that the sciences are disunified. Chapter 1
outlines and introduces different accounts of the stratification of the sciences in the
literature, in particular, Unificationism, Disunificationism, Eliminativism and Human
Science Disunificationism. I argue that all of these competing views are informed by
an ideal model for successful science. In particular, all of the views discussed are
committed to the claim that a science requires laws to be considered scientifically
legitimate. At the end of this chapter, the narrower topic of the thesis is revealed: do
the special sciences have real legitimate ceteris paribus laws? | |
