And thus, secondly, that it cannot be reduced down to a putatively 'lower level' of explanation (whether mechanical, chemical or operant). Taylor's engagement with these two concepts - teleology and reductionism - runs throughout the book and the majority of Explanation is devoted to analyzing these concepts from a variety of different angles. While there are a number of ways that Taylor does this,including a critique of 'theory language' and 'observation language', in-depth criticisms of specific psychological experiments and deconstructions of learning theory, the philosophical critique of reductionism in favor of teleology is developed in the first part of Explanation.
