Abstract

The existence of biological properties that supervene on physical properties, do not invalidate the development of reductionist biological research programs such as Molecular Biology. The existence of such properties leaves room for the development of biological research programs that do not take that approach, but it does not annul results obtained by programs that follow that reductionist approach. However, recognizing that there are different degrees of supervenience,
