Nagelian

(The Kemeny-Oppenheim notion of reduction/theory replacement is weaker than Nagelian reduction as it does not require such bridge principles connecting TA and TB.)

Reductionism in Biology Brigandt, Ingo 2008

It also derives from the fact that the Nagelian model of theoretical reduction treats the theoretical structures to be related at a designated time and because the physical science models used as a template for thinking about reduction emphasized spatial composition questions rather than causal relations.

In this sense, the structuralist approach can be construed as a neo-Nagelian account.

Feyerabend, for instance, promptly rebelled and rejected the adequacy of the conditions for Nagelian reductionism.

(Sklar, 1967, p. 120) In fact, if something like Nagelian reduction is going to work, it is generally accepted that the bridge laws should reflect the existence of some kind of synthetic identity.

Intertheory Relations in Physics Batterman, Robert 2007

Philosophers and physicists have argued in favor of reduction in formal sense, whether in Nagelian theoretical relations or through relations between mathematical frameworks containing the relevant theories.

The Unity of Science Cat, Jordi 2007

Hull argued that genetics did not exemplify Nagelian reduction because the fundamental terms of classical genetics could not be suitably connected to expressions couched in terms of DNA.

Molecular Genetics Waters, Ken 2007

Multiple realizability only challenges necessity (and nondisjunctive) reducing conditions, and so is not a challenge to even a projected Nagelian reduction of psychology to the physical sciences.

Multiple Realizability Bickle, John 2006

In testing this theory by field-observations and culture-experiments, the defenders of the Nagelian principle could easily produce evidence upon the first point.

These curious little desert-plants disprove the Nagelian views in two important points.
