| Abstract: | Background An old debate has undergone a resurgence in systems biology: that of reductionism versus holism. At least 35 articles in the systems biology literature since 2003 have touched on this issue. The histories of holism and
reductionism in the philosophy of biology are reviewed, and the current debate in systems biology is placed in context. |
