The book introduces a novel approach to the reduction of physical theories through a series of recursively constructed reductions rather than a fixed concept. This method allows for a flexible understanding of theory reduction, making it particularly useful for tackling complex cases in special and general relativity, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics. Organized systematically, it caters to both readers interested in the philosophy of science and physicists with limited philosophical background.
