还原论还应与消除论区别开来:还原论者不否认现象的存在,而是用另一种现实来解释现象。消除论者否认现象本身的存在。例如,消除论者通过解释物理和化学过程来否认生命的存在。

Reductionism does not preclude the existence of what might be termed [[Emergence|emergent phenomena]], but it does imply the ability to understand those phenomena completely in terms of the processes from which they are composed.

In cognitive psychology, George Kelly developed "constructive alternativism" as a form of personal construct psychology and an alternative to what he considered "accumulative fragmentalism". For this theory, knowledge is seen as the construction of successful mental models of the exterior world, rather than the accumulation of independent "nuggets of truth".

A contrast to reductionism is [[holism]] or [[emergentism]]. Holism is the idea that, in the whole, items can have properties, known as ''emergent properties'', that are not explainable from the sum of their parts. The principle of holism was summarized concisely by [[Aristotle]] in the [[Metaphysics (Aristotle)|Metaphysics]]: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts".

[[Ecologist]] [[Sven Erik Jorgensen]] makes both theoretical and practical arguments for a [[holistic]] method in certain topics of science, especially [[ecology]]. He argues that many systems are so complex that they can ever be described in complete detail. In analogy to the Heisenberg [[uncertainty principle]] in physics, he argues that many interesting ecological phenomena cannot be replicated in laboratory conditions, and so cannot be measured or observed without changing the system in some way. He also indicates the importance of inter-connectedness in biological systems. He believes that science can only progress by outlining questions that are unanswerable and by using models that do not try to explain everything in terms of smaller hierarchical levels of organization, but instead model them on the scale of the system itself, taking into account some (but not all) factors from levels higher and lower in the hierarchy.<ref name=":34">S.

[[Ecologist]] [[Sven Erik Jorgensen]] makes both theoretical and practical arguments for a [[holistic]] method in certain topics of science, especially [[ecology]]. He argues that many systems are so complex that they can ever be described in complete detail. In analogy to the Heisenberg [[uncertainty principle]] in physics, he argues that many interesting ecological phenomena cannot be replicated in laboratory conditions, and so cannot be measured or observed without changing the system in some way. He also indicates the importance of inter-connectedness in biological systems. He believes that science can only progress by outlining questions that are unanswerable and by using models that do not try to explain everything in terms of smaller hierarchical levels of organization, but instead model them on the scale of the system itself, taking into account some (but not all) factors from levels higher and lower in the hierarchy.<ref>S.

在认知心理学领域,乔治 · 凯利(George Kelly)发展了“构建替代主义”作为个人建构心理学的一种形式,也是他所认为的“累积碎片主义”的替代。在这一理论中,知识被看作是外部世界的成功的心理模型的构建,而不是独立的“真理金块”的累积<ref name=":35" />。

生态学家斯文 · 埃里克 · 乔根森在某些科学领域,特别是生态学领域,为整体方法提供了理论和实践两方面的论据。他认为,许多系统是如此复杂,以至于它们可以被完全详细地描述。类比于物理学中的海森堡测不准原理,他认为许多有趣的生态现象不能在实验室条件下复制,因此不能在不以某种方式改变系统的情况下测量或观察。他还指出了生物系统内部相互联系的重要性。他认为,科学只有通过勾勒出无法回答的问题,通过使用模型,而不是试图从较小的组织层次来解释一切,而是根据系统本身的规模来模拟它们,考虑到来自较高层次和较低层次的一些(但不是全部)因素,才能取得进展。
