Holism, or the Erosion of Modularity: A Methodological Challenge for Validation
Philosophia Scientiæ, 2018Modularity is a key concept in building and evaluating complex simulation models. My main claim is that in simulation modeling modularity tends to degenerate for reasons inherent to simulation methodology.

The holism of cosmology and consciousness
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2023The greatest unsolved mystery of all is what consciousness is. Torday and Miller have hypothesized that consciousness is the homologous 'equivalent' of our physiology, behaving as our history, providing an algorithm by which evolution can determine how and why to adapt to ever-changing environmental conditions.

Strong holism, weak holism, and health
Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, 2004The health theories of Nordenfelt and Boorse are compared. Critical attention is focused on Nordenfelt's description of his theory as one of holistic welfare, contrasting with Boorse's analytical and statistical approach. Neither theory is found to give an entirely satisfactory account of 'health' in scientific medicine or common usage.

Quine's Holism and Functionalist Holism
Mind, 2001One central strand in Quine's criticism of common-sense notions of linguistic meaning is an argument from the holism of empirical content. This paper explores (with many digressions) the several versions of the argument, and discovers them to be uniformly bad. There is a kernel of truth in the idea that 'holism', in some sense, 'undermines the analytic-

Finally there emerge the ideal wholes, or Holistic Ideals, or Absolute Values, disengaged and set free from human personality, operating as creative factors on their own account in the upbuilding of a spiritual world. Such are the Ideals of Truth, Beauty and Goodness, which laid the foundations for a new order in the universe. We speak of matter as

This article explores anti-reductionist tendencies and the variety of their theories and metodologies. Anti-reductionism is seen principally as a critique of reductionistic methodologies: from vitalism (XVIII century), to Naturphilosophie (XIX century), to systemic theories ([5]), or from autopoiesis (Maturana, Varela, 1980), to auto-organizing ...

Does Epistemological Holism Lead to Meaning-Holism?
Topoi, 2002§ 1. Holism in general. There are various proposals for a general characterization of holism. In this paper I propose the following: a variety of holism is the view that every X of an appropriate kind, which is part of a relevant whole W, cannot be legitimately separated or taken in isolation from W.
