 Similar criticisms extend to the traditionally formalist arguments in physics about fundamental levels; there unification fails to yield explanation in the formal scheme based on laws and their symmetries (Cat 1998; Cat 2005). Unification and explanation conflict on the grounds that in biology and physics only causal mechanical explanations answering why-questions yield understanding of the connections that contribute to “true unification” (Morrison 2000;[2] Morrison’s choice of standard for evaluating the epistemic accounts of unity and explanation and her focus on systematic theoretical connections without reduction has not been without critics, e.g., Wayne 2002; Plutynski 2005, Karaca 2012).[3]
