Conservative Reductionism - Esfeld, Michael (University of Lausanne, Switzerland) a Sachse, Christian (University of Lausanne, Switzerland)

All properties that exist in the world are functional properties in the sense of causal properties. The authors base a conservative ontological reductionism on this claim and then develop functional reduction into a fully-fledged theory reduction through functional sub-types that are coextensive with physical types, providing case studies from biology.
