Glennan's The New Mechanical Philosophy will undoubtedly engender further conversation...The text is certainly a worthwhile read for those interested in metaphysics of science, philosophers of science, and even practitioners in the brain and behavioral sciences.
Christopher A. Rickels, Springer Nature
Stuart Glennan's The New Mechanical Philosophy is an impressive, first-rate achievement and a very welcome addition to the literature on what has come to be called the New Mechanical Philosophy (NMP)... [The book] is essential reading for anyone wanting to know what NMP is all about.
Dingmar van Eck, Metascience
The book is essential reading for anyone hoping to engage with contemporary mechanistic philosophy, for or against. It provides a helpful introduction to many of the key concepts, and it stakes out provocative claims that will no doubt fuel productive philosophical discussion of mechanisms for years to come.
Carl F. Craver, British Journal for the Philosophy of Science
Glennan's book is an ideal place to start your investigation of the New Mechanism. It has a bit of something for everyone. For those not at all familiar with the New Mechanism, the opening chapter situates this movement vis-à-vis recent trends in philosophy of science. ... This is a rich book, very readable, and definitely recommended. ... this will very likely be the go-to book for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses about mechanism and mechanistic explanation for the foreseeable future.
