The Reductionist Delusion.

Is life really a game of pinball? Are human actions merely the result of initial conditions, physics, and chance?

This view has been adopted by some of the leading scientists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

However, is it a hypothesis truly scientific?

Does the data taken from both experimental science and real life experience support such a claim or does it point to a different conclusion?

The Reductionist Delusion presents a critical look, from the position of commonsense illustrated using statistical mathematics, at the theoretical position that all life's actions are the result of initial conditions, physics, and chance.
