1:42:30Chaos and Reductionism
This challenging lecture critically examines the principles of reductionism in science, discussing how breaking down complex systems into their component parts aids in understanding, with reference to assigned readings.
(May 19, 2010) Professor Robert Sapolsky gives what he calls "one of the most difficult lectures of the course" about chaos and reductionism. He references a book that he assigned to his students. This lecture focuses on reduction science and breaking things down to their component parts in order to understand them best.
