1It made sense or Collins (1977) to include “modied reductionism” as one o the six working

assumptions o the new oundation or psychology, given the remaining infuence o atomism

and behaviorism when he wrote. However, there is much greater appreciation or the contextual

nature o both human lie and knowledge, so it seems to me less unnecessary to include it today.
