Why computational complexity may set impenetrable barriers for epistemic reductionism

Michael Herzog, Adrien Christophe Doerig, Christian Sachse

According to physicalism, everything is physical or metaphysically connected to the physical. If physicalism were true, it seems that we should - in principle - be able to reduce the descriptions and explanations of special sciences to physical ones, for e ...
