dc.description.abstractZeigler and Weinberg (1970) presented a system theoretic discussion of biological modelling. In this paper some implications of this formulation for the wider problem of reductionism are examined. It is argued that the reduction of biology to physics, for example, involves a relation between co-ordinates typical of biological models and those typical of quantum-mechanical models. This relation is shown to be rather special and not empirically or methodologically necessary.en_US
