[edit] what does it mean?

is this a neologism for being a scientific reactionary? if so, just say that. --Rocksanddirt 23:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

This means a multiplicity of "isms" without necessity........ confer Ockham, Wittgenstein, etc. etc.

[edit] POV bias

The article is written from a standpoint of antireductionism, for instance claiming that reductionism, or quantitative approaches, are not fruitful in ecology without a citation. The article needs to present antireductionism without endorsing it. And also note that antireductionism does not necessarily mean the abandonment of science or quantitative approaches - the fields of emergence and systems biology attest to this.

I endorse the suggestion of a merge with holism. There does not seem to be enough here separate from holism to justify a spin-off article. Moreschi (talk) 22:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
