D. Anti-Reductionism
In an effort to understand more clearly the types of
relations that exist between different scientific and theological disciplines,
numerous scholars in theology and science have focused on the issue of
reductionism. Scholars now generally recognize several types of reductionism,
with most rejecting its stronger forms in favor of a non-reducible,
hierarchical model of disciplinary relations. Others, however, reject the
foundationalist overtones of this model and opt instead for non-foundationalist
approaches.
