According to Bickle, certain empirical results demonstrate that the bottom-up reduction of phychological concepts to the concepts
of neuroscience has already been accomplished. I argue that this conclusion is hasty. Bickle claims that all high-level investigations
depend on a mistake. I argue that this overstates the explanatory character of neuroscientific findings. Bickle's assessment
is highly optimistic, but he is far from making a decisive argument. Those who wait for a full-blown reductionism will have
to wait a little longer.
