Eliminative pluralism
Philosophy of Science 59 (4):671-690 (1992)
Abstract
This paper takes up the cause of species pluralism. An argument for species pluralism is provided and standard monist objections to pluralism are answered. A new form of species pluralism is developed and shown to be an improvement over previous forms. This paper also offers a general foundation on which to base a pluralistic approach to biological classificationAuthor's Profile
