Looijen's book explores the interdependence of holism and reductionism in nature, arguing they are cooperative research programs. It examines the emergence thesis, reduction thesis, and functional explanations in biology, with examples from ecology. The work serves as a comprehensive study of ecological philosophy for scientists and researchers.
