Abstract
Robinson's treatment of the logic of reduction makes extremely important analyses of the common strategies of reduction and the contemporary models of psychology which pursue them. The power of the argument is that even within the ontology that informs the contemporary models the reductionist project is not well understood, ill advised, and ultimately unnecessary. This response to Robinson's essay suggests that some sort of reduction is inevitable because it inheres in language, that on ontology always precedes and underlies all reductions or attempts at reduction, and that it may be argued that all such reductions have metaphysical consequences.
