subtle reductionism

Corey deVos February 5, 2017

One of the two major versions of reductionism, along with gross reductionism. Subtle reductionism reduces all quadrants to the Lower-Right quadrant, asserting, in effect, that there exists only interwoven, holistic patterns of “Its.” See gross reductionism and flatland.
